As Floris said, our mysql package is deprecated, so I'm all for
replacing it with an up-to-date mariadb package. If later on, someone
else really needs MySQL, we can re-add it, and add the necessary
virtual package to allow selecting between mysql and mariadb. But until
there's a decent mysql package available, I believe replacing it
completely with an up-to-date mariadb package is better.
