[debian-mysql] Bug#648723: closed by Stuart Prescott <stuart+debian at nanonanonano.net> (user should install mysql server on the machine)

[Alexey Eromenko]

Hmmm... OK. Maybe you're technically right, still new users do not
expect getting any such errors.

However: when during installation of "mantis" I were asked by
"dbconfig" package what to do with MySQL. It seems natural to allow
installation of "MySQL" during this interactive session on-the-fly,
without introducing hard-dependency.

Current situation is *very* confusing for new users alike, especially
because the installation (of "mantis") had interactive questions.

Therefore I propose to open feature-request against "dbconfig-common"
package to provide an option to install "mysql-server" on the fly.
(probably for "debian-wheezy", because we speak about intrusive change
required)

Is this acceptable outcome ?
