That depends on the answers of the administrator to the dbconfig-common
questions. dbconfig-common is designed to not care about which host the
database runs on. So if your package only makes sense when the database
runs on the same host, you better make sure that that is what happens.

I suggest you install once with DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low or reconfiguring
your package by running dpkg-reconfigure myapplication-database. Because
with the default that is true, but in general it is not.

I must be misunderstanding you ("wherever it may be"), because I think
that only works when it is on the same host as your package.
