on zabbix-server-mysql installation a user can possibly choose to
autogenerate the password for the database user. If zabbix-frontend-php
is installed on the same machine as zabbix-server-mysql i used to read
the database password for the database user specified during the server
installation using dbconfig-load-include (in postinst, in order to skip
this debconf question for the frontend package (or to get the
autogenerated password)), which was working well.
# lest check if zabbix-server-mysql is installed and use
# its configured database password, dont ask the user
if [ -e /etc/dbconfig-common/zabbix-server-mysql.conf ]; then
eval `dbconfig-load-include
/etc/dbconfig-common/zabbix-server-mysql.conf -f sh -pdb_password`
else
RET=""
db_get zabbix-frontend-php/database-password || true
db_password="$RET"
[ "$db_password" = "none" ] && db_password=""
fi

hm, yes, dbconfig-generate-include works, but im pretty sure i was using
dbconfig-load-include before which worked nicely.
