Hi,
would you please explain this issue with more details?

dbconfig-common is used in drupal6 to automatically create a database for 
single domain installation. Is provided for the administrator convenience for 
simple installation and does not handle multiple db configurations.

Administrator is asked if dbconfig-common should be used for database 
configuration at the beginning of drupal6 install. Admins planning to use 
multiple DBs should skip the auto-configuration and add site-specific database 
configuration by hand.

I don't see the security issue either, since dpkg-reconfigure can only be run 
by root and root can always access /etc/dbconfig-common/drupal6.conf and read 
the database password.

Regards,

L
