Package: ruby-mysql2
Version: 0.4.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

ruby-mysql2 declares a Build-Dependency on libmysqld-dev. libmysqld-dev is a
product known as “Embedded MySQL”; it is essentially all of mysqld packed up
in a single library meant for single-user use, similar to SQLite.

>From what I can see, ruby-mysql2 doesn't actually the library, only
libmysqlclient-dev (which libmysqld-dev depends on); it certainly builds
without it. It would be nice to change the Build-Dependency (to libmysqlclient-dev)
if so.

Thanks!
