Package: dspam
Version: 3.6.4-3
Followup-For: Bug #361384

        I'm seeing the exact same problem with the installation
of libdspam7-drv-mysql.  It looks like a debconf problem:
---
$ DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer ./libdspam7-drv-mysql.postinst configure
debconf (developer): frontend started
debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is libdspam7-drv-mysql
debconf (developer): starting ./libdspam7-drv-mysql.config configure 
debconf (developer): <-- SET libdspam7-drv-mysql/dbconfig-install false
debconf (developer): --> 10 libdspam7-drv-mysql/dbconfig-install doesn't exist
[1]    15310 exit 10    DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer ./libdspam7-drv-mysql.postinst configure
---

and so package installation fails.  Since I was upgrading from
the Alioth dspam packages and my dspam database already exists in
MySQL along with the appropriate configuration files, my current
hack to workaround this issue was to place an exit as the first
command in libdspam7-drv-mysql.postinst.  This at least allowed
me to install the package completely.

        I'm not sure if this has to do with the fact that there
is no libdspam7-drv-mysql.templates file or not.  I do not know
enough about debconf to diagnose this any further than I already
have.
