Drupal let's us specify $db_url as an array, to make it possible to connect to other databases. This is extremely useful when doing migrations (using modules tw/migrate).

I would appreciate if migrating a site with provision would keep other values stored in $db_url and, in these cases, put the default value in $db_url['default']

So i switched to the array format now.

Additionally, I made it so that you can create a 'local.settings.php' in the site directory of your site, and specify additional database credentials there (and it wont be overwritten).

Not sure if that is the source of now critical issues with sites imports, see:

It affects both Apache and Nginx installs.
