It's legal, so I did it now as a workaround.

Well, I did packaging only after testing libdbi with syslog-ng. So 
instead of make check, I did some real life tests with syslog-ng + 
libdbi + sqlite + mysql + pgsql + ms sql. Updating to 0.9.0 did not 
break anything in my tests and sqlite support finally works.
On the other hand I can't publish my package in the build service until 
scripts report "Errors". Making it a configure option would make further 
package updates easier, as with patches one needs usually to recreate 
them for each release.
