I've been looking into this some more. It occured to me that the installation script from the baruwa.deb askes twice to configure the mysql db. This seemed a bit strange to me so I looked up the config file at https://github.com/akissa/baruwa/blob/master/debian/config
I think I know now why the debconf settings are forgotten. in line 16 it says : db_reset baruwa/mysql/configure which I think explains why the setting is forgotten (db_reset) What is the reason that you explicity reset the value of baruwa/mysql/configure ? And is it possible to bypass that reset so that the debconf-set-selections are not ignored ?
