 A 'common' package is for stuff that applies to ALL packages in
 the group it's for (nagios-{pgsql,mysql,text} in this case).
 
 The *mysql* stuff does NOT apply to the pgsql package and vise
 versa...
 
 Conclution: The common package should NOT contain ANY database
 specific documentation etc..

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.

i'm still not convinced.  what good would this gain us?  if anything i
see this as complicating things more than necessary, as it does no harm
having the documentation all in one place, and it might cause some people
to miss documentation by splitting it into two places.

anyway, i'm going to take it as a good sign of the state of the package
that we're arguing over something like this :)
