Notes: if one forgets -n, the database, user, and hostname will all be
the same string, e.g. localhost.
Even with the -n, the database, user are set to the same string. OK
but looks funny.
There is no file
BUGS: See ../TODO.Debian
chmod 755
Say sudo ./..... not sudo bash
repeat the set -e after the first line, unless they still do.
I notice that _simply browsing_ /blog/wp-admin/install.php causes
/var/log/apache2/error.log:

This apparently stops being caused after we fill in the form correctly.
We finally reach the admin profile page and it says
