I had 2 goals: one to reduce the delta with Debian so that Ubuntu gets
updates sooner and easier, and 2nd, it seemed to me like pymysql
support was something useful for django in Debian too. This issue
isn't really blocking anything for me.

Raphaël's proposal of improving the pymysql packaging so that it can
be a drop-in replacement for py-mysqldb rather than patching
individual apps seems like a good idea, but I don't have plans to do
this work myself.

Thanks,
