I notice that both mariadb-server and community-mysql-server are on
the list. Given that FESCo decided some time ago that the "preferred"
version was going to be MariaDB (but that we were going to permit
MySQL to remain in the repos under other maintainership), I'd say we
should drop the community-mysql packages from the DVD. This should
save us a respectable bit of space.
