You probably can, with some tricks ;-)

Method 1:
Create two patterns (yourpackage-mysql and yourpackage-posgresql) which 
require the needed packages

Method 2:
Create subpackages yourpackage-mysql and yourpackage-postresql. Both 
should provide yourpackage-database, which should be required in your 
main package.
(The nice thing about this: you could put the config file in the 
database specific package so that the correct database is 
preconfigured.)

That said: I'm not sure if this is really worth the effort. Decide 
yourself ;-)


Regards,

Christian Boltz
