* Renamed libmysqlclient15-dev to libmysqlclient-dev but added an empty
  package libmysqlclient15-dev to ease the transition for packages with
  a versioned build-dep to libmysqlclient15-dev which is something that
  currently does not work with "Provides:".

That's your changelog entry from 5.1.21beta-1, I really don't know why
you decided to go this way. :-)
