While upstream supports MySQL, this package only supports MariaDB since MySQL is not packaged by Debian.
Thinking of our downstreams, I don't think it great to mention "not packaged by Debian" in the description. It's not even true, it's packaged in unstable. Last time I looked our big downstream Ubuntu even had MySQL as default, so I think putting wording like this in the description isn't helpful in the ecosystem. If upstream support MySQL (your words in the example), I think the Debian package should do too (to the extend that we don't make it difficult to use MySQL instead of MariaDB if the user so wishes). What could be factually correct is saying that only automated testing only happens with MariaDB in Debian. Maybe it's best to assume people using the package will just get the defaults (MariaDB) and if you use MySQL, they already know the stance of Debian.
All in all, I suggest to leave that last line out. Paul
