Note that there is some debconf stuff in the debconf branch [1]. I added
this with the aim that a user could install the package, and have it
working once it has been installed (if they so wish).

Currently, it sort of works. As in it will create the database, and
configure apache, and mediagoblin will work. The problem comes when
giving the user options regarding what webserver and database they want
to use.

I think one way of solving this would be to have packages for the
configuration options, which depend on the prerequisites (e.g.
mediagoblin-pgsql depends on postgresql):

  mediagoblin-pgsql
  mediagoblin-sqlite

  mediagolbin-apache2-wsgi
  mediagolbin-nginx-uwsgi

Does anyone have any advice regarding this?
