Hi

No wwwconfig-common will never depend on postgresql or mysql or
its client packages.

It is up to the package that depend on wwwconfig-common to add
that dependency.

The reason is simple:
* If wwwconfig-common depend on all things that can be used by it
  it will have a very long list of dependencies (exim4, postgresql-client,
  mysql-client, apache and so on).
* Wwwconfig-common is only used by postinst scripts.
* If a web program only have support for postgres and nothing else, it
  should not depend on something that depend on a huge number of other
  things.

So
It is up to the package that depend on wwwconfig-common to depend
on the things that is needed. That package is the one that know
what parts of wwwconfig-common that it actually uses.

Regards,

// Ola
