archeos-db metapackage

[Fabrizio Furnari]

Hi, I agree to keep the software we used in Caesar, but we should remember
that each software we automatically include into Theodoric must be
motivated: which software uses it as backend?
I mean, we could include every single database in the Debian repository but
this let the image grow, could open potential security issue, and we
definitely should support it into some tutorial or documentation page.
So I think that if a database is not needed specifically by a software
included in ArcheOS, or is not packaged by us, we should keep it available
from the repository and let the user the choice to install it or not...
