[DRE-maint] [Bug 696246] [NEW] Dependency on mysql not recognised

[riban]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: redmine

During installation of Redmine, configuration of mysql database is
performed which requires the password for the mysql database
administrator. If mysql-server has not been installed, this stage fails.
There should be some check that mysql-server is available and if not, a
message should inform the user how to reconfigure the application after
fixing the issue. Mysql is not a dependency of Redmine because the
database backend could be on another host or a different database
engine.
