-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Fellow Devel's
Over the last 6 months, we have introduced a few new MySQL variants into Debian and expanded the use of the existing (but never formalized AFAICT) virtual-mysql-* virtual packages to supporting switching in/out the different variants. The wider intent is that all maintainers of packages that depend on mysql-server or mysql-client are encouraged to add as alternative dependencies the virtual packages virtual-mysql-server[1] or virtual-mysql-client[2]. This will enable the alternative MariaDB and Percona packages to satisfy the dependency. MySQL 5.5, MariaDB 5.5 and PXC 5.5 are all binary-compatible and most likely to work with any program that currently uses MySQL in Debian. If you prefer some of the non-Oracle versions of MySQL, you can even default to one of them using syntax like for example 'Depends: mariadb-server | virtual-mysql-server'.
