Comment (by hhorak):

 Replying to [comment:8 rdieter]:
 > The simple rules mash uses to determine if a pkg should be multilib'd
 is: 1.  is it named *-devel , 2. does it contain shared libraries
 (anything matching /lib*/lib*.so.*), plus a bunch of other stuff, but that
 should give you the general idea.  packagers generally do not have control
 of this.

 > For details, install 'mash' pkg, and examine multilib.py

 Thanks for the explanation, it does answer why -devel packages are
 included. But still -- if we include -devel packages, then we need also
 all it's dependencies. But if we cannot include depended packages because
 they are obsoleted, we shouldn't include the -devel packages either
 (they're obsoleted in the same way).

 So I see actually two ways how to solve that:
 1. teach mash to ignore obsoleted packages from multilib
 2. add mysql packages to blacklist in mash
