Uhm, you really don't wanna go there in my opinion, and I'm someone
who has done a good deal of RDBMS work on Linux and Debian boxes. The
needs of applications that would be using an RDBMS are in my opinion a
bit too diverse to try and have a "Debian" SQL server in main.

Please do not put either in main, your user base for these is going to
be a very low percentage uot of the entire Debian install base, and
the last thing I want one my 386 is a friggin postgresql process
hanging around. Of all the linux boxen I have ever run, a very small
percentage have ever needed a RDBMS, and most of those were for pure
bullshit reasons 8)
