Great!

I should mention that there are a bunch of fairly radical changes about
to land. They involve moving mysql-common to a new src:mysql-defaults
package and a bunch of new default metapackages.

None of this is private (in this case it's all being coordinated with
the release team anyway), and we try to always copy in the mailing list.
But it may be surprising to anyone who hasn't been following along. The
main actors for these changes are me and Otto. Otto presented a BoF at
Debconf with a summary of the changes.

I've been working with Otto on IRC (join us - #debian-mysql on OFTC)
with drafting a better announcement that will go to debian-devel soon.

I don't think any of this should impact packaging mysql-cluster, except
for perhaps some minor dependency changes which we can tweak easily
enough if necessary. I just thought I'd mention it now, to avoid any
surprises :-)
