I am totally flabbergasted. dbconfig-common goes through a lot of hoops just to make sure this is not true. Sure, the *default* questions and answers are geared towards local database servers. But by either (re-)configuring dbconfig-common to raise the priority level of remote questions by default, or by raising the priority level during package configuring will get you the questions needed to configure your remote database. (Of course we can discuss what the proper priorities are but I really hope no DD will think (anymore) that dbconfig-common assumes local databases.) And yes, there is still bug 700895¹ (improve dbadmin-less database configuration workflow). Paul ¹ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700895
