Package: mysql-server-4.1
Severity: important
This package has become a dependency on mysql-server-5.x, which is a mistake.
MySQL 5.0 introduces changes, such as compliance with SQL 2003 which renders
many query incompatible with those from 4.x. This means a regular site
updating this package (which is probably in "auto-update" mode most of the
time) would find itself in the position where it has no choice but to fix
every incompatible queries through all its programs/scripts.
This is not an acceptable thing. Somebody might expect a package named
"something-4.1" to be kept at version 4.1 and not something else. Maybe
"mysql-client" alone would be better, certainly not this.
