i'm not really convinced on this. nagios-common is imo not only
the arch independant files as you suggest, but also a documentation
package as well (because i can't justify to myself a seperate
nagios-doc package).

That's perfectly ok, but you should put README.mysql and create_mysql
in the -mysql package and the README.pgsql create_pgsql in the -pgsql
package. All files should install in the /usr/share/doc/nagios-common/
directory as usual.
