We've discussed this before:  please don't mark transition bugs as "serious"
without a) approval of the release team, b) actual removal of the old
library by the ftp team.  NMUs for such transitions are fine, but declaring
them RC is not.

In this case, you're certainly welcome to NMU libmyodbc *if* you confirm
whether there are any known compatibility issues between MyODBC 3.51.11 and
libmysqlclient15, test the package before uploading, and report the details
of those tests to this bug.  In the past, there have been compatibility
issues between differing versions of MyODBC and libmysqlclient, so I do feel
I need to insist on this.

If you don't have time to test or your tests show a new upstream version of
libmyodbc is needed, please wait for me to package it rather than NMUing a
new version.

Thanks,
