The source package is mysql-connector-c++.
https://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mysql-connector-c%2B%2B.html

Yees, that's the LO component. And you see that it depends on libmysqlcppconn7v5

Simple: Because LO uses the C++ bindings and not the C bindings? If you
mean why I don't build mysql-connector-c++ against mariadb, see my initial
mail. Newer versions of it do not build with it. (the version in sid is
ooold.)
