if you get this on a fresh install, you probably have your debconf
priority set higher than the question, which is low priority.  what
happens if you do

dpkg-reconfigure -p low packagename

did you read the documentation?  basically, you can set some
variables in your postinst that tells dbconfig-common to create
(and register via ucf) custom-format config files based on
the dbconfig-settings.  all you need to do is set the
variables before you call dbc_go, everything else is
handled by dbconfig-common.  you'll still need to handle
removing the files, though.
