You are very much mistaken. What I want is a central database to store information, and a seperate file listing all variables. When a package is installed the information about its variables is merged with the current list of variables. A possible implementation would be to give a package a file debian/vars, and install that along with the other control files in /var/lib/dpkg/info.
