Great.

I have two remarks while working through database-common-0.5:

  1. IMHO it is not good to use the same default in the template for

     Template: database-common/postgresql/dbname
     Type: string
     Default: ${pkg}

     Template: database-common/postgresql/app-user
     Type: string
     Default: ${pkg}

     There is no reason that ${pkg} is the default for dbname and
     app-user.  I'd suggest to use a different variable here.  If not
     at least the later template would be unuseable for me.

  2. I did not found a template for the text which should be displayed
     if the passwords for app-pass and app-pass2 should missmatch.
     moreover it would probably a good idea to provide a shell function
     which could be loaded by the configure script which consistently
     handles password insertion.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
