It look like permissions changed by dbconfig-common stuff.
Installing bacula-director-sqlite3 without dbconfigcommon help don't
change permissions on /var/lib/bacula. But if i choose to create
database with dbconfig-common, then /var/lib/bacula permissions changed
from 0700 to 0750.

1. apt-get install bacula-director-mysql (for example. it can be any
other)
2. apt-get install bacula-director-pgsql (for example)
3. dpkg -P bacula-director-mysql
In this case bacula-director-mysql postrm script remove bacula-dir.conf

but this file include info, generated by dbconfig-common. It can't be
created before bacula-director-dbtype installation.

I don't have contacts with them, but they react to my mail with
differences between our packages and upload 5.2.6, based on our work.
