This seems to break the whole plan. A nontrivial number of packages
need to link against libmysqlclient* _and_ libssl. If libmysql12's
license does not allow that, we are screwed.
ametzler@downhill:~$ grep-available -FDepends libmysqlclient10 | grep-dctrl -FDepends -sPackage -n libssl
perdition-mysql
dovecot-common
caudium-php4
sqlrelay-mysql
motion
pure-ftpd-mysql
proftpd-mysql
gnugk
And these are just direct linkages against both libraries, there's
also a lot of bar depends on both libmysqlclient10 and libbar and
libbar itself links against libssl. - I never remember whether we
actually (have to) respect indirect linkage like that license-wise but
judging from cadaver I guess we do.
