[debian-mysql] Bug#739841: mariadb-*-5.5: file conflicts with mysql-*-5.6

Source: mariadb-5.5
Version: 5.5.35-1
Severity: serious

the mariadb-*-5.5 packages ship the same files as mysql-*-5.6 in
experimental without having appropriate Breaks+Replaces.

Maybe myriadb and mysql should agree on a set of virtual packages that
can be used for Provides/Conflicts/Replaces to avoid constantly updating
package lists in multiple places whenever there is a major upstream
version bump.
