Sorry, I disagree. The situation with MariaDB needing to ship libmysqlclient.so is broken. I'd prefer to restrict this insanity to the -compat package only. This way: * The insanity only slips further to the defaults- package but no further. * Packages that don't have to be involved don't get dragged in. * The "shoulds" in package naming in Debian policy (8.1/8.4) are met.
