However, if your making a package on one machine to be installed on
another machine, they do need to be somehow placed on the other machine
so that the database on the other machine can be modified, ideally by
the install script. Checkinstall, I assume like most package makers,
looks at the files installed to generate a list of files to be in the
package. If they don't get installed then you get the situation that I
have now, my Mythtv box has everything to run apart from the .sql files
necessary to modify the database.
