Fair question. There's also quite a few packages that depend on dbconfig-common and have split between -mysql and -pgsql - to be honest, we thought that was the general direction packages were taking that supported both, but that may have been based on a faulty assumption. Personally, I think it's tidier, and less ambiguous for users. > Second, why wouldn't users be allowed to install both, together, the -mysql > and -pgsql versions? Well, that's logically equivalent to installing multiple versions of the same package. At the moment, there's one moodle installation, which has code that lives in /usr/share/moodle, and connects to one database. This is determined by its one config file. You can do tricks in the config file to fool Moodle into connecting to different databases, based on some rule (like virtualhost), but I don't see the use case here, and I don't think any other web applications support being installed multiple times, do they?
