No. Deimos is for C headers which have been translated to D. What we're 
talking about here are modules which provide engines for Phobos' database 
framework. There will be modules for various databases - sqlite, postgres, 
etc. Those modules will be written in D using the API that the database 
framework requires, and they will _use_ C headers which were translated to D 
(possibly in Deimos), but they will not _be_ such headers, so they're not part 
of Deimos. Whether they will end up in Phobos proper or not will depend on 
stuff like what licenses they have.
