What makes you think it is a serious bug? It would be serious in case of 
Build-Depends on virtual package without alternative but "mysql-workbench"
(binary package) Depends on just "virtual-mysql-client" because there is no 
preference regarding which client package to use at run time...

I've realised that "virtual-mysql-client" can be demoted to Recommends -- 
please advise if that change warrants an unblock in which case I will upload 
to "unstable". Thank you.
