Hi,

The building of redland can be flaky at times
and on certain arches :-(

See:
 https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=redland
 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=redland&arch=mips64el&ver=1.0.17-5&stamp=1757244867&raw=0


Due to the pretty low popcon of these storages modules

 librdf-storage-mysql
 librdf-storage-postgresql
 librdf-storage-sqlite
 librdf-storage-virtuoso

I was considering dropping them and only keeping
the main library.

It seemed absolutelty nothing needed these in Debian.


Until I found this nice article with Debian Code Search:

  https://sources.debian.org/src/r-cran-rdflib/0.2.9+dfsg-1/vignettes/articles/storage.Rmd?hl=346#L346

So please at least Suggests: these 4 backends here
to avoid a too eager removal.

(src:redland still need help)

Greetings
