dbconfig-common can not be purged and reinstalled correctly without
purging all reverse dependent packages. This has been reported against
dbconfig-common a long time ago (578960 and merged bugs), but I don't
believe that the bug is actually in dbconfig-common. To prevent the
the bug list of debconf to be "poluted" by the duplicates I file a new
bug against debconf which can just be closed if you really think this
is something that dbconfig-common should work around itself.
(Analysis from bug 578960 by Sean Finney) This is what happens:
dbconfig-common installs a collection of templates. Example from
debconf config.dat cache file:
Name: dbconfig-common/database-type
Template: dbconfig-common/database-type
Owners: dbconfig-common
Later, someone installs a webapp (say, phpbb3), which registers a subset
of these packages from dbconfig-common. Relevant entries in debconf
cache file:
Name: dbconfig-common/database-type
Template: dbconfig-common/database-type
Owners: dbconfig-common
Name: phpbb3/database-type
Template: dbconfig-common/database-type
Value:
Owners: phpbb3
Variables:
database_types = mysql, pgsql, sqlite
pkg = phpbb3
Later, both packages are removed, and even later dbconfig-common is
purged (but not phpbb3). config.dat cache now contains:
Name: phpbb3/database-type
Template: dbconfig-common/database-type
Value:
Owners: phpbb3
Variables:
database_types = mysql, pgsql, sqlite
pkg = phpbb3
And the template still exists in templates.dat
And even later, dbconfig-common is reinstalled. However, config.dat
cache is the same as before (i.e. no dbconfig-common/database-type ).
I'm guessing that the un-purged package with the registered copy of the
template is preventing dbconfig-common from properly setting up its own
debconf-stuff, and as pointed out it requires purging not just
dbconfig-common but all dbconfig-common using packages in order to get a
working behavior again.

Changes:
debconf (1.5.57) unstable; urgency=medium
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Drop alternative Suggests on gnome-utils (closes: #792219). It hasn't
existed since squeeze, it dropped gdialog in 2003, and debconf only
supported gdialog for about three weeks in 1999 anyway.
* Escape braces in regexes to avoid deprecation warning with Perl 5.22
(closes: #786705).
* When creating a new template and finding that it already exists in the
database, ensure that a question of the same name exists too (closes:
#518322, #779920).
.
[ Jérémy Bobbio ]
* Use UTC when running xgettext for build reproducibility. Closes: #783255
.
[ Debconf translations ]
* Brazilian Portuguese (Adriano Rafael Gomes). Closes: #785464
