Good spot!

So, I've made some changes since I last sent this patch, the biggest
being splitting the database creation out from running of the database
migrations.

Assuming that the shepherd service defined as part of the
patchwork-service-type just runs the migrations, yes, it needs
PostgreSQL (or whatever database you're using) to be available.

At the moment, the service is hardcoded to use mod_wsgi, so it runs
through the httpd-service, no shepherd service for running patchwork is
needed in the service-type at least.

It would be good to try and make it more flexible in the future, at
least so that you can pick and choose a bit more (and instead use uwsgi,
gunicorn, ...).

Thanks for taking a look :)
