Bug#703645: packaging the database schema



A database schema is required in order to run the PostBooks application

The database schema is not included in the source tarball.  Rather,
upstream distributes the schema as a separate download

They have several schemas available:

- an empty database (just the tables)

- a quickstart database (includes chart of accounts and other standard
content in the tables)

- a demo database (like quickstart, but also includes sample customers
and transaction data)

The current versions are available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks/files/03%20PostBooks-databases/4.1.0/

They also mention an installer but it is not clear whether their
"installer" will run as a Debian package or if it is better to just
treat the quickstart schema as a new source package and implement a
postinst script to install it.
