-the program <code>dbconfig-load-include</code>.  specify the variable
-<code>dbconfig_load_include</code> as a <code>format:inputfile</code>

-can to bootstrap itself with those options.

+<code>dbconfig_load_include</code> should be

+<code>format:inputfile</code>. <code>dbconfig_first_version</code> should
+be specified in both the config <i>and</i> postinst scripts, and should
+contain the first version in which dbconfig-common was introduced.
+when the package is installed, if it is being upgraded from a version less
+than this value it will attempt to bootstrap itself with the values.
