[Pkg-cacti-maint] Bug#744067: cacti: Cacti should support php5-mysqlnd as alternative to php5-mysql

[Sebastian Mares]

Package: cacti
Version: 0.8.8b+dfsg-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

currently, cacti insists on php5-mysql to be installed even
if the server has php5-mysqlnd.

Would be nice if cacti could make php5-mysqlnd an alternative.

Cheers
Sebastian
