- these people want money. if you want higher level service, you should
pay for it.
- if splitting the db and the module that uses it, you'll have to manage
db format changes. While this is only theoritical, one should cope with
it. Some linux distros are known for their patch-it-now practices that
result in serious problems later.
- In any case, this is packaging issue. it suffices to split the package
into a -dev and -data parts, and make the -dev depend on the -data part.
but as said above, this may create problems.
so, use a cron to update the db if you really want.
