I have filed a few more bugs, for:

Sources build-depending on mysql-{client,server}
Packages depending on libmysqlclient-dev

7 new bugs in total.

Current list:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=pkg-mysql-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org;tag=default-mysql

That only leaves Packages depending on mysql-{client,server}, but there are
quite a few of those (if we count depends & recommends & suggests). If we make
mariadb-{client,server}-10.0 (temporarily) provide mysql-{client,server}, then
we don't need to file RC bugs for that right now. We could still file those bugs
at severity important now, and eventually bump that to RC and drop those
provides... but we don't have the pressure to do it all now.

What do you think?

Cheers,
