It's not the diskspace that I'm worried about; it's the way that
any DSA for MySQL (like DSA 1608-1 the other day) will generate a
new updated version of mysql-common to be tested and approved and
rolled out on all those business-critical Stable web servers.

Not that I'm in charge of one of those these days (which is why I'm
running Testing); and not that I'm arguing to raise the Severity
above "wishlist".  I recognise that it's too late now for there to
be any practical way of avoiding this minor annoyance within the
lifespan of Lenny.
