Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.41
Severity: wishlist
We started splitting moodle into three packages, moodle-mysql, moodle-pgsql
and moodle-remotedb, in order to get around this problem of whether to
depend on database servers or not.
If we did that, we would want the first two to be able to tell
dbconfig-common that it should always connect to a local db (since we're
depending on it), and in the last case, we would want to tell it to only
connect to a remote db server.
This should I guess overwrite the dbconfig-common debconf setting of
whether or not we're likely to connect to remote databases.
It would be great if this was possible. Sorry there's no patch attached :(

The proposed solution seems reasonable. As the packaging as I encountered
it did not have a split in those packages, I'm also not sure it's
currently an issue. I'm closing this request for now.
