Well, as I said previousely, this approach makes life way easier for the
packager but it is finally not the best possible solution. If there is
something "Debian simply cannot know" it should ask for it in a debconf
question, like
[ ] Upgrade database server now
[ ] Do it manually later
So inprinciple there should be a chance for the user to get everything
running straight after the package installation / upgrade (while keeping
the freedom to do everything manually). But I think we just discussed
this previousely ...
Kind regards
Andreas.
