disagree ... the database server can be a standalone database server.
for example, a tester for decaf works like that. He has a central server
for shares and the cashier machine (his) is not the server.

i think that in the workstations as in the cashier, this could be done
using debconf. This way this could be preseeded in an automatic
installation using the d-i.

this maybe is missing from the docs. something like:

createdb decaf
createuser decaf-user ...

psql decaf -h host -U decaf-user < decaf-scheme.sql
