Hi Thomas
See neutron/debian/neutron-common.templates
Line 46 to 48:
46 Template: neutron/configure_db
47 Type: boolean
48 Default: true
So no I did not asked debconf to handle my database setting.
And by the way: I do not think it's stupid to delete unused wrong
settings in a config file (the default install creates a stupid setting
by using sqlite on localhost, which is definitly wrong on a distributed
neutron installation).
Cheers
Benedikt
