That answer doesn't make me any happier.  I've got a problem with being
saddled with an extra layer of bureaucracy without any say-so on my
part, and I'm also quite nervous about the idea of something that is
genuinely critpath depending on something as rickety as mysql.

How would I find out exactly where the dep came from, so I can have
a word with that package's maintainer?
