[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#986707: rt4-db-mysql: should declare an incompatibility with mysql 8

[Andrew Ruthven]

The problem I can see with conflicting with mysql-server-8.0 is that a user
could have both MySQL and MariaDB installed on the same server, as they
should be able to co-exist (listen on different ports).

If we conflict, then we prevent that.

The issue is that in Debian default-mysql-client and virtual-mysql-client
(and -server) depend on mariadb, but in Ubuntu they depend on mysql.

Perhaps we should explicitly depend on the mariadb packages. Thinking about
this is a bit further, this does seem the best option.

RT 5.0.4 supports MySQL 8, which is now in Debian Unstable, so this'd only
apply to the RT4 packages now.

Cheers,
Andrew
