Since Ubuntu was started, there has been a design goal to try and pick one package in a catagory and support it well in Main and leave the others in Universe for support as it's available. That goal isn't always achieved (e.g.Postfix and Exim in Main even though Postfix is the "standard" MTA for Ubuntu). I think we would only have more than one MySQL in Main if it was really unavoidable. The decision to focus support around a subset of the archive is one of the design choices that distinguishes Ubuntu from Debian.
