Ok. Perfect. That's why this doesn't care too much.

Ahhh okok. There was my misunderstanding. I thought that when i generate a
.deb for a specific RDBMS, it also put in there, the database header and the
database client library. I thought this could be the reason why you don't
have a deb package for Oracle (license problems).
