The latter, just type kolab<tab><tab> and find all the goodies avaiable for 
kolab, in this case including kolab-setup.  kolab-setup = setup-kolab

It's plugin driven.  If a check is not needed, do not distribute it or disable 
the check:

kolab-scripts> cat pre-setup.conf
# Disable checks that are stored in /usr/share/kolab/pre-setup.d/
# The checks are enabled by default and can (only) be disabled by assigning
# the value "disable" to the check's filename (with hyphens (-) replaced by
# underscores and the .sh suffix removed).
#
# Example for check (filename): kolab-check-update-pkgs.sh
# kolab_run_update_pkgs=disable

Include in kolab-pre.conf
check_sql_database=disable

and the mysql database will be disabled.

If another another check is desired, just drop it in the directory 
/usr/share/kolab/pre-setup.d, determine the order it has to be executed with 
KPS_CHECK_ORDER and that's it (KPS: Kolab Pre Setup).
