Install on sqlite:

Initializing the database with the sqlite flavor of ratbox-services is trivial.
You need to have the sqlite3 command line tool to be installed. (which is done by apt-get install sqlite3).

Then, to init the database:
$ su -
# sqlite3 /etc/ratbox-services/ratbox-services.db < /usr/share/ratbox-services/lib/schema-sqlite.sql
# chown irc:irc /etc/ratbox-services/ratbox-services.db
