Provide support in the Debian package for FreedomBox's use case. If the user installed MediaWiki database using dbconfig and answered positively to a question to auto-update the database, then run update.php during package upgrade.

Ack. I agree we should do this in the mediawiki package and it's probably the best user experience for the majority of package users in addition to FreedomBox.

We are not currently compatible with dbconfig, we'll have to look into how complicated or not it'll be to hook into MediaWiki's installer and updater.

(And there's other stuff we should flip on by default like the jobrunner systemd service.)
