shouldn't that be "-pdbc_dbpass"? there is no variable named
"db_password" in /etc/dbconfig-common/zabbix-server-mysql.conf.

which does exactly what it should do. to fully explain this:
- dbconfig-load-include (d-l-i) is used to parse a "3rd party" config
file. the input can contain arbitrary variable names and can be in an
arbitrary format (as long as it's supported). the output is strictly
defined as the format which would be used in a dbconfig-common config
file (i.e.: dbc_dbuser, dbc_dbpass, etc)
- dbconfig-generate-include (d-g-i) is used to *output* a "3rd party"
config file, using a dbconfig-common config file as input. thus in this
case the input is strictly defined, and the output is in arbitrary
format with arbitrary variable names.

if that was the case, i think that the feature you were using was in
fact a bug :)
