[ubuntu-mythtv] myth-database requires update-notifier?

[Mario Limonciello]

Brian,

Well the problem here is trying to get the best of both worlds.  The
postinstall checks for connecting to the database, and if it can't
attempts to issue a warning via update-notifier/adept-notifier.  Perhaps
just querying for one of the two and making them recommends would be a
better idea.  I'll think about this more though, and how feasible that
actually is.
