[debian-mysql] Bug#852776: Bug#852776: mariadb-server-10.1: init script doesn't specify it should be started prior to apache2 etc

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Affects: mysql-5.7

Hello!

Thanks for the report. The same lines are also in
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-mysql/mysql.git/tree/debian/rules#n215
Git history shows the line is inherited way back from 5.5 times.

As MariaDB and MySQL and functionally equvalent, we try to keep their
packaging identical as much as possible. If the packages divert, then
the amount of testing/maintenance increases.

This is a change that should be done in both packages at the same
time, to avoid a situation that the change is reintroduced later when
somebody maintaining MariaDB compares to MySQL packages and copies
over these lines to unify assumed packaging differences.
