if there is really no database configured, the start (and thus the test) 
will fail. but the packaging does already create databases with 
dbconfig-common, so the db creation in the test is useles (and actually 
harmful, as it would hide dbconfig-common problems).

so with the patch, adt will test the installed bareos using the 
dbconfig-common created database.

hope this clarifies it for you
