Yup, /me bad. The usual way for a package using a language binding is to
depend on that bindig (dev-perl/DBD-mysql-VVV).
All my worries were for the case when the latest stable dev-perl/DBD-mysql
is compiled against the latest SLOTed mysql-5.1.x and is being used to
access data on an old (SLOTed or not; localhost or some remote host) server.
But I guess then the problem will be entirely in dev-perl/DBD-mysql being
unable to connect to older servers :-)
At this moment I should say "Sorry for the wasted bandwidth/time" :-|
