Package: dpm-name-server-mysql Severity: wishlist MariaDB is an drop in replacement for MySQL. As MariaDB has just landed in Debian unstable it would be a good time to include it in the dependencies as an alternative to MySQL.
Please change in the debian/control any occurences of mysql-server and mysql-client to "mariadb-server | mysql-server" and "mariadb-client | mysql-client". This way systems that have MariaDB installed instead of MySQL can use this package without problems. While MariaDB is at the moment only in Debian unstable, some users might have installed it from mariadb.org or other sources to jessie or wheezy, so it does not hurt if this package has these dependencies updated for older Debian releases too. This is a very quick and safe change to do, and there is no urgency to upload the package just for this small thing. Just update the dependency (or suggest or recommends) lines in the debian/control file and let the change propagate when there is something else to push too.
