bareos-database-common doesn't pull in the bareos-dbcheck binary from bareos-database-tools
with that commit.

I'm not quite sure I follow.
You want bareos-database-common to be installable on the database server?
That seems not very desirable as you have to worry about version mismatches and you can't
automatically write the database configuration to the director config.

Afaik dbconfig-common can work with remote databases if you configure it that way.
Of course the custom package tooling around it needs to support it too.
