root@nekun:/usr/src# cat poker-network-1.1.1/debian/control | grep mysql-server
Suggests: mysql-server

dpkg -i *poker-network*.deb
dpkg -i *poker-web*.deb

Works fine, I believe this may be a dependencies problem.

I believe dbconfig-common is missing
As the package depends on it, it should output this message right ?:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of poker-web:
 poker-web depends on dbconfig-common; however:
  Package dbconfig-common is not installed.

poker-web does depend upon dbconfig-common
Package: poker-web
Section: web
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Pre-Depends: debconf
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, dbconfig-common, ucf, php5 | php5-cgi, php5-mysql, php5-gd, apache2, php-pear, gettext

There are 3 binary packages: python-poker-network, python-poker2d and poker-web

python-poker-network is the poker server and also includes the client libraries.
It depends on mysql-client and suggests mysql-server.

python-poker2d is the GTK poker client; it depends indirectly on mysql since it depends on python-poker-network.

poker-web is the Web interface to a poker-network server: it only suggests mysql-client

Unpacking poker-web (from poker-web_1.1.1-1ubuntu2_all.deb) ...
.: 15: Can't open /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/config.mysql
dpkg: error processing poker-web_1.1.1-1ubuntu2_all.deb (--install):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2

Does this suggest a Pre-depends: dbconfig-common, so that dbconfig is present *before* pre-installation step ?

From debian policy:
    Pre-Depends are also required if the preinst script depends on the named package. It is best to avoid this situation if possible.

Following debdiff should solve both #137573 and #138836.

Withdrawed Cesare Tirabassi changes from the patch, as he suggested.

Use patch -p4 for the patch to apply correctly

poker-network (1.1.1-1ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Fix poker-web installation issue (LP: #138836):
    - Add dbconfig-common (preinst required) as Pre-Depends

  * Fix SIGSEGV on start-up for poker2d (LP: #137573):
    - Add simple-patchsys.mk to debian/rules
    - Add 00-fix-double-initdisplay.patch patch in debian/patches
    - Add 01-fix-glade-autoconnect.patch in debian/patches
