The freedom to choose from several database backends is the horror of  
all packagers. The Debian package system cannot realize that you  
intend to use the MySQL driver, so it won't complain about unmet  
dependencies.

I'll see whether refdbd can spit out more useful error messages when  
run from the refdb-init script. In normal operation refdbd runs as a  
daemon, so everything it sends to stderr is usually lost. But the  
maintenance mode could very well send the information to stderr by  
default.

The reference database should not be called "refdb". This is the only  
name which is reserved for internal use (RefDB needs one system  
database for styles and the journal word list). Just pick any other  
name. I guess it wouldn't hurt to add some words along these lines to  
the refdb-init script.
