Hello,

I was about to install mysql-client and saw that mysql-doc was
suggested, so I thought I'd install that too. Is this a bug?

Description: mysql database client binaries
  MySQL is a fast, stable and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database
  server. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most popular database query
  language in the world. The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and
  ease of use.
  .
  This package includes the client binaries for the 4.0 branch.

I went ahead without the -doc package checked the readmes etc for the
-client package. They don't mention this issue.

I could not see any bug reports about this.

Presumably this related to a non-freeness in the documentation?
