Bug#845255: debian-policy: Include best practices for packaging database applications
Hi Paul,
sorry for the late answer, but better late than never...
As the bug title says, those recommendations are best practices and for me there
is no need to put them into policy. There can always be good reasons to not use
dbconfig-common at all (it just can't be as flexible as required to meet all the
different scenarios) and therefore it won't be desirable to put any pressure on
maintainers of database applications to use it. Nevertheless a good
best paractices section like [1] with hints to various examples is highly
appreciated and will be sufficient.
Just my 2¢,
Mathias
