even in noninteractive mode the templates ought to be registered. it could
be that the config script isn't running for some reason (you could also try
dpkg-reconfigure <pkg> but i'd also be interested in the set -x output of
the config maintainer script).
regarding the postinst script: my memory is a bit fuzzy on the matter
but you might also want to try fetching those debconf values *after*
calling dbc_go instead of before to see if that makes a difference. actually,
you should be able to avoid needing to fetch those values at all if you
use the dbconfig_generate_include* options in postinst (there's a "template"
output mode where you can format the file exactly how you want).
also, i notice that you're including the dpkg/config.mysql in the config and
only dpkg/postinst (i.e. no .mysql). i'm not sure that's related, i'm just
trying to point out all the stuff that i see which is different than expected.
finally, you might see more about what's going on inside the guts of
dbconfig-common if you export dbc_debug=1. there's also possibly
some info in /var/log/dbconfig-common/dbc.log.
hope something in the above is helpful anyway :)
