I should explain this more. Without this boilerplate, the values are inherited from the [database] section but they cannot be overridden in a launchpad-lazr.conf file. I believe this is because the config parser knows nothing about how these sections inherit from the [database] section causing unknown key errors to be raised. The [database] fallback is done in lib/canonical/config and is launchpad specific.
