Not really, replied on the bug report, closed again.

From a quick look, there will still be three different -<dbtype>
packages, but this time each one will install the proper library which
will then use by default without any change from the bacula-dir POV, so
no need of any /etc/alternatives.  However, each -<dbtype> should brings
the dbconfig-common snippets.

OK, then it make sense (but it complicates things and to me it seems
strange for dbconfig-common to have chosen that).

Thx, bye,
