Only essential packages can be used from .config scripts. At debconf time only questions are asked (if dbconfig-common is available), the configration happens at postinst time. The problem is that dbconfig-common requires running server at postinst time, what can not be guaranteed if phpmyadmin and mysql are installed together. For some reason this bug has been reported about 30 times in Ubuntu while only once in Debian. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
