Yeah but in what possible world would anybody want a "database server" but not care which DBMS it is? I mean, on the basic level of MySQL vs. Postgres, not "which fork of mysql is cool this week." I just can't fathom the use case for this particular task. Yes, there are cases where you need a DBMS but you don't have an opinion, but I suspect in that case what you need the DBMS for is some other package, which then Depends: or Recommends: on a suitable DB engine.
