It's a little off-topic, but I didn't think this would work unless you
specified the database server as a Pre-depends (which is not
recommended). If you specify a Recommends on the database server, then
even using recommends by default doesn't guarantee that the database
server will be ready to use when dbconfig-common is trying to set up
the new database. Is this not the case?
