OK, then how about changing the order of the actions:

defcustom d-b-overriding-action
ACTION argument              (used by d-b-other-frame etc.)
defcustom d-b-alist          (nil by default)
defvar d-b-default-action

Then the user can customize d-b-alist with an all-matching condition to
change the default behavior.  (I still don't see a use case for
d-b-overriding-action, and maybe it could be omitted.)
