Would there be huge loss to just orphaning and dropping community-mysql
entirely to resolve the issue once and for all - and thus making this very
clear?

When the switch was first proposed it was Oracle who was most vocal against
it to the point of them stating they'd take over package ownership and
filing #958131 to update to 5.6 and change the name from community-mysql to
mysql-community etc etc ...

The last comment from Bjorn was just over two months ago with the
'NEEDINFO' flag raised over 6 weeks ago...
