As mentioned in the bug report, this broke when dbconfig-common was updated
as you've previously announced to watch out for in private.

As I'm very short on time, help with sorting this out before bandwidthd
is removed from testing would be appreciated (but absolutely not a big
deal. The bandwidthd package has been pretty neglected for a long time now.)

I've not yet found the time to look into if this regression is because
of a problem in bandwidthd usage of dbconfig-common or the new version
of dbconfig-common itself.

An alternative approach here which I've considered for a long time
is to simply drop the bandwidthd-pgsql (binary) package. Struggling
with dbconfig-common has absolutely been the most time-consuming
part of packaging bandwidthd and since I don't use it myself and
it seems very few others are interested in the postgres-backed
version as well, dropping it might just be the smartest move...

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
