Surely the best thing would be to replace it with a note that
basically says

	This system contains a database for web notes from an earlier
	version of DocBookWiki. Web notes are no longer supported in the
	current version.  For instructions on how to remove this
	database (now or later), please see README.Debian.

Would it be possible to use dbconfig opportunistically if it is
present on upgrade (preinst) and purge (postrm)?
