yeah, i think that's the problem.  in mysql, dbc checks for a user
by using the "show grants" statement, which not only checks the user
but also the permissions.  in pgsql, i don't think we're doing
that currently, which would probably cause this problem.

also, regarding using dbc in packages that previously didn't use dbc:
i'm currently working on making support for that a little better.
after this and the abort/retry work miguel is doing, i'm planning on
doing an upload into unstable too.
