Hi,
mysql 5.1 was recently "end of lifed", which makes security support
in Debian LTS fairly difficult (since Oracle doesn't release
information on the security bugs fixed)

The release notes already mention mysql and mariadb explicity and
to prevent surprises, we had a brief discussion the security team and
would like to explicitly document the support end for mysql/mariadb
along with it.

Patch attached, review from an English native speaker would certainly
be welcome.

Cheers,
        Moritz
