I have relatively little experience with debconf, so I hope that this
helps. I removed the internal entires as I wasn't sure that they were
going to be visible to the user.

Any Web server that supports PHP 4 is capable of running phpBB, however,
this package only supports Apache. Which Apache Web server would you
like to configure?
.
Please note that later you will need to reload the Web servers using the
invoke-rc.d application.

An existing configuration file for the database has been found

Grave accents used as left single quotation marks are evil! Here's what
I suggest:
If you have not yet created a database but want to do so, choose
"Create."
.
If you have created a database that currently has no tables and you wish
for to populate them, choose "Populate."
.
If none of the above options applies to you, choose "None."

If your database is on a separate computer, then you will need to enter
the fully qualified domain name for that computer.

All users, posts, etc., are stored in a single database. What would you
like to name it?

In the interest of security, a user dedicated to running phpBB will be
created for you. What would you like to name this user?

To what value should this user's password be set? If you leave this
empty, a random password will be generated.

In order to create the necessary user, database, and tables, the MySQL
root password is required.
.
The password will be temporarily stored by debconf until the
configuration phase of this installation. If you do not trust debconf to
securely manage this password, you will need to create the user,
database, and tables yourself in addition to filling in the same details
during the installation of the phpbb2-conf-mysql package.
[What did you mean here about Populate and Create?]

The configuration script failed to create the phpBB database. Please run
dpkg-reconfigure phpbb2 and try again with different options. You may
create the database user by hand if you choose the manual installation
option.

The configuration script failed to create the phpBB database user.
Please run dpkg-configure phpbb2 and try again with different options.
You may create the database user by hand if you choose the manual

The configuration script failed to create the phpBB tables. Please run
dpkg-configure phpbb2 and try again with different options. You may
create the tables by hand if you choose the manual installation option.

The purge script did not remove the database for phpBB or the user
created for running phpBB. If you wish to remove all phpBB data and
configuration, you will need to remove them yourself.
