Yes, a package must not unconditionally use variables set by
dbconfig-common. I would say that the lines after 235 need to be in an
if [ "$dbc_install" = "true" ] && [ "${_dbc_on_error_option}" !=
"ignore" ] ;
fi
block.

But please also see my (today !!) reported bug 822945¹ against
dbconfig-common. I have the same issue in my package cacti.
