Well looking at the dependencies of libdbd-mysql-perl it depends on
mysql-base, so it will be installed if libdbd-mysql-perl is installed
(assuming no funny business from the machine's operator).
Does your package actually depend on mysql-base or msql? Or does it
just want libdbd-* to have what it needs? If the later I'd say just
remove the depends lines and just have libdbd-my* | libdbd-ms*. If
the former this looks like it should work. (But I guess it doesn't.
hmmmm) (Maybe the depends parser in dselect got confused)
I assume the line you sent you your email was formatted differently
(i.e. space at the begining or all one long line).
What I'd do is just depend on perl, libdbi-perl, libnet-perl,
libdbd-mysql-perl | libdbd-msql-perl, mysql-base | msql and depend on
the libdbd* packages making sure they have what they need installed.
