  There's config.xml file in $etc-prefix. You should edit it 1st and
after that run configure_etc.sh script to update configuration. By
default IIRC it uses DB files indeed, but I had problems with DB files
in the past. So I suggest you to try DBI module and postgres/mysql

  Want to simulate ca and ra as separate servers? Than imho you should
do two installs with different --prefix-es and use one instance of
postgres/mysql, but with different databases for ca and ra.

  No. LDAP, if I understand correctly, is used for CDP (certificate
distribution point) and CRL storing. I advice you to use SQL database
instead of DB files.

  Actually me and Piotr are currently working on debian packages, but
still have to do some work. See openca-devel maillist archives for last
month for more information. In attached file is debian diff I use for
building, but there's a work in progress so it may not to build
correctly.
