I didn't change anyting in Build-Depends field with this upload.

I think the dependency to libmysqlclient16 was silently introduced
because previously libmysqlclient-dev was a virtual package provided by
libmysqlclient15-dev, but now a real one is provided by the 5.1 version.

The difference was that some time ago I've added the lenny-backport
repository to my build machine to match the behavior of buildds, so I
guess you noticed this only now because you was using the package built
by me.

However I'm preparing a new upload with an explicid dependancy on
libmysqlclient15-dev

Kind regards,
Marco
