[debian-mysql] [PATCH] libmariadbclient-dev: adding new package install target

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello!

This binary package was on purpose removed from the MariaDB packaging,
as I was told by senior DDs that it is against policy to ship two
versions of the same libmysqlclient.so

The last commit regarding this issue was
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git/commit/?id=24ed76b33cb076ef886b9637d96aa310cb8efa88

Searching the git log of mariadb-10.0 and mariadb-5.5 you can find
more. Also there is some discussion about this in the mailing list
archives and on the team wiki page. Sorry I don't have time to list
all the details, but I think a quick reply on the main issue will be
helpful for you here.

Current recommendation is to build against libmariadb2 instead from
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mariadb-client-lgpl
