Gaudenz,

The Debian distribution is the only one which made the choice of doing
all of the db sync things in an automated way. So I think it's fine to
do it by hand if you decide to use the non-interactive mode. Plus I
believe that a single on/off prompt for handling of the database bits of
OpenStack core projects is more than enough, and adding some more would
be a bad idea.

Anyway, it is a way too late in the Debian cycle to introduce new
debconf prompts. Even translation uploads are not accepted by the
release team at this point.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
