Yeah, I think we will consider "mysql" and "mysql-devel" to be virtual
Provides now. Generally, dependent packages should still use those for
BuildRequires, unless there is some specific reason why you want to
build against one particular MySQL clone.
Also, if possible it's best not to use "Requires: mysql" at all, but
just let the automatic dependency on libmysqlclient.so do the job.
I realize this doesn't work for packages without such a dependency,
of course.
