Hi Christian,

I maintain one of the packages (rsyslog) which build-depends on
libmysqlclient15-dev.
I plan to make a sourceful upload soonish, so I was wondering if I should also
change the build dependency from libmysqlclient15-dev to libmysqlclient-dev.

What's your recommendation as mysql maintainer?

Will the libmysqlclient15-dev transition package go away and if so, when?

Cheers,
Michael
