moin,

to sum things up:

* mariadb-5.5 within testing
* mariadb-10.0 within experimental
* mysql-5.5 within testing
* mysql-5.6 within experimental
* percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.5 within sid

- From my point of view we should not talk about
percona-xtradb-cluster-server as a mysql replacement as it does not
provide any libs nor -dev packages and will always be a very close
relative to mysql.

Although my opinion is to let Debian users decide which fork to use I
can fully understand release/security team concerns.

So which way to go?
* stick with mysql and start transition -> 5.6
* replace mysql with mariadb and start transition -> 10.0
* create an ecosystem where several forks may live side by side

pkg-mysql is unfortunately not one of the strongest teams in terms of
manpower, but even though we tried to come up with a solution to
fullfil anybodys wishes.


As the transition timeframe is quite close we need a decision!
This decision should be done by the release team agreed together with
your collegues at ubuntu/canonical as we should definately *not* fork
this decision!

Maybe the tech-ctte could also be involved?


Cheers
B
