debconf routine is unintuitive when wrong database admin password is entered

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

At installation a `debconf` dialog asks whether the database ought to be configured. Entering a wrong admin password for the database causes a selection of `abort` and other options to pop up without any feedback on what actually happens.

This part is handled by dbconfig-common, reassigning.
