Re: Conditional entries with dbconfig-common

FWIW this is what we're using in request-tracker4:
 http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-request-tracker/request-tracker4.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/scripts/dbconfig.template

So the generated configuration file ends up with an if clause comparing
seemingly constant strings. It's not very clean either but it's the best
I could come up with.

Hope this helps,
