Um... a package for just one file :-(
Would you agree that is is (not beautiful but) ok if I add a
Replace: libmysqlclientX
into the package control files of both libs? If there's also a conflict
to "libmysqlclient6 (<< [current version])" in the new libmysqlclient9
I would be able to enforce that both libs are new and have the replace
and then have the same config file so either could be installed w/o
problems.
