currently, i put the following into debian/package.lintian-overrides:

# package uses templates from dbconfig-common, so this is a benign warning
package: no-debconf-templates

and then install the file into /usr/share/lintian/overrides/package as
part of the debian/rules build process.

however, the *real* fix would be to figure out how to get lintian
to automagically detect this... but in any case it's not a big
deal, as it's just lintian being trying to be smarter than it should be.
so if you're anal retentive and want to get rid of the warning, you
can do the above, or you can just ignore the message if you'd rather :)
