Thanks. http://people.debian.org/~seanius/policy/dbapp-policy.html/ch-dbapps.html#s-installationissues 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 are a bit ambiguous on a quick read but i think the idea is roughly that if they say "no thank you" to configuring a database that the package should successfully install anyway sans-configuration, but if they say "yes please" (or if that is the default action, which i think it is in the case of dbconfig-common using apps), and it is not able to install, that the failure should be treated as a package installation failure. sean
