Does that mean that the Debian Apache Team will not add the apr_dbd_mysql driver? Why? INSTALL.MySQL states: ".. and there is no problem with a third party bundling the driver, provided you respect both the ASF and GPL licenses." So this should not be a problem. If the dbd architecture finds wider acceptance, not adding the mysql driver will disable mysql usage from within apache modules on debian systems.
