2) The DB password should be of debconf type "password", not "string",
such that the value is not echoed to the screen (and I think debconf
also discards the value ASAP).

3) I can reproduce the problem now; I had to purge webcalendar and
then reinstall it.  I don't understand why.

dpkg-reconfigure webcalendar
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: webcalendar is broken or not fully installed

Shouldn't purging erase the debconf values so I can install it again?
It doesn't.

4) /etc/webcalendar/settings.php is not removed on purge, which causes
an unsightly message "/etc/webcalendar not empty so not removed".
That file should be manually rm in prerm:purge (but not in
prerm:remove).
