Public bug reported:
The description in `apt-cache show` ends with this paragraph:
Note that MariaDB also comes with an included version of the client library.
The main reason to use this package, rather than libmariadbclient-dev, is
differences in licensing: this package uses the LGPL, while
libmariadbclient-dev uses the GPL.
But the package libmariadbclient-dev appears no longer to exist in 15.10
(nor in 16.04).
