% apt-cache showpkg libmysqlclient6 | grep ^'  ' | cut -d, -f1 | sort | uniq
  courier-imap
  libch
  libdbd-mysql-perl
  libmyodbc2.50.26
  libmysqlclient6-dev
  mysql-client
  php3-cgi-mysql
  php3-mysql
  php4-mysql
  python-mysqldb
  www-mysql
  xmysqladmin

Put the above command into something like:

% mutt $(for i in $(apt-cache showpkg libmysqlclient6 | grep ^'  ' | cut -d, -f1 | sort | uniq); do echo $i@packages.debian.org; done)

And you'll mail them all :)
