while this would probably work, it isn't the way i would recommend for
three reasons:

- you rely on me never changing the values of certain variables (which
  i probably won't, but explicitly do not promise)
- doing so continues to expose sensitive information (while not on the
  cmdline, exported environment variables are typically world-visible)
- there's an easier way :)

i think you want to be doing something like:

# Load dbconfig (mysql part)
. /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/postinst.mysql
dbc_generate_include=template:/etc/dspam/dspam.d/mysql.conf
dbc_generate_include_args="-o template_infile='/usr/share/doc/libdspam7-drv-mysql/mysql.conf'"
dbc_go libdspam7-drv-mysql $@

...or something like that (i haven't tested the above, but it's the
general idea).  you then do not need to do anything at all later on
in the postinst.
