Note that mysql recently split their server package into a "server" and a
"core" package, so you get a minimal mysql installation without a system-
wide copy of mysql running.
Yes, akonadi will still use mysql internally, but it's (mostly) transparent
to the user. My main issue with the akonadi/mysql dependencies is thus
solved.
(Yes, it is not very cool to have mysql running for akonadi and virtuoso for
nepomuk/strigi and probably quite a few copies of libsqlite and libdb for
other subsystems. But I guess we'll just have to live with that unless
we're prepared to do the work ourselves... )
