No, the collection of .sql scripts for inital installation: bar.sql 
refers to tables
created in foo.sql, so it must run afterwards. I suppose we could have a 
central gnumed.sql
which contains just a sequence of \i foo/foo.sql commands

OK, that's good. You're still using debconf to ask these config 
questions though?

Not really, my main aim is to move maintenance of bootstrapping scripts 
from us to you ;-)

 Thanks for answering my Cc:
My $0.02: guarantee to execute .sqls in alphabetical order (then we can 
name them like /etc/rcX.d/ links to enforce ordering for those scripts 
for which it matters (only a few)
