common framework for packaging database applications

dbconfig-common presents a policy and implementation for managing various databases used by applications included in Debian packages.

dbconfig-common can:

 * support MySQL, PostgreSQL, and sqlite based applications
 * create databases and database users
 * access local or remote databases
 * upgrade/modify databases when upstream changes database structure
 * remove databases and database users
 * generate config files in many formats with the database info
 * import configs from packages previously managing databases on their own
 * prompt users with a set of normalized, pre-translated questions
 * handle failures gracefully, with an option to retry.
 * do all the hard work automatically
 * work for package maintainers with little effort on their part
 * work for local admins with little effort on their part
 * comply with an agreed upon set of standards for behaviour
 * do absolutely nothing if it is the whim of the local admin
 * perform all operations from within the standard flow of Debian
   package maintenance (no additional skill is required of the local
   admin)
