That's only possbile with more or less ugly hacks from the libdbd-mysql-perl side. But as Rene has already pointed out, changing Build-Depends to "libmariadbclient-dev | libmysqlclient-dev" makes the package immediately unbuildable and therefore RC-buggy if libmariadbclient-dev is not yet in the archive. (Besides that, any such major changed will have to wait until after the wheezy release.) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
