This saves diskspace, download time and makes your system more maintainable. Why not provide some "sympa-mysql" or "sympa-postgresql" pseudo packages to implement such dependencies and necessary scripting in addition to sympa ? Pleas comment my proposal posted here earlier.

Bug#595600: Cannot install sympa: No Database Driver installed
Package: sympa Version: 6.1~beta4~dfsg-1 Severity: important When installing sympa with a postgresql database and using dbconfig-common to configure the database, I get the following error: Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Suggested packages: libauthcas-perl libdbd-oracle-perl libtext-linefold-perl libtext-wrap-perl The following NEW packages will be installed: sympa Preconfiguring packages ... Configuring sympa - The sympa package must have a database installed and configured before it can be used. This can be optionally handled with dbconfig-common. If you are an advanced database administrator and know that you want to perform this configuration manually, or if your database has already been installed and configured, you should refuse this option. Details on what needs to be done should most likely be provided in /usr/share/doc/sympa. Otherwise, you should probably choose this option. The sympa package can be configured to use one of several database types. Below, you will be presented with the available choices. 1. mysql 2. pgsql 3. sqlite3 4. sqlite Please provide a password for sympa to register with the database server. If left blank, a random password will be generated. . If you are using "ident" based authentication, the supplied password will not be used and can be left blank. Otherwise, PostgreSQL access may need to be reconfigured to allow password-authenticated access. 1. Apache 2 2.
