My only request concerning your proposal is that the -dev package name be
left alone, so that existing packages which build-depend on
libmysqlclient15-dev can be fixed with a simple rebuild on the autobuilders
instead of forcing everyone to do sourceful uploads of their packages to
change build-dependencies. The greater the number of reverse-dependencies a
library has, the more important this is for making a smooth transition
possible.
Unless you were planning on keeping libmysqlclient15off around in unstable
in parallel?
Cheers,
