[debian-mysql] percona vs. mariadb

[Steven Ayre]

+1 too, much like there are multiple options for the MTA.

Two packages that're likely to cause a problem are:
mysql-common (ships my.cnf which may not be compatible across all versions)
libmysqlclientXX

There're a number of mysql variants that it might be useful to support:
mysql community server
mysql cluster
percona server
mariadb
galera
