The dependency was re-added because of snmptrapd (bug #886221), so can't the dependency to MySQL not be added to that package? Or introducing a libsnmp-mysql package? I have pretty much zero knowledge about this package or its packaging, so if this is nonsense, feel free to disregard it. Cheers, Diederik
