A new version addressing the bug has been prepared and Sergei will take
care to upload it. As per Sergei's suggestion I will file a bug against
release.debian.org as soon as the package gets into sid.

The problem with the package is that it doesn't link to a specific
mysql or mariadb client library, but searches for it in runtime by
name and loads it dynamically. So we can't use the shlibdeps mechanism
to construct the dependencies list as usual.
Is there a specific reason why this isn't done? Wouldn't it be better to just
link to the client library the way other packages do? Obviously, such a change
would be for after the buster release.
That's the way the upstream code is written. It uses Tcl_LoadFile() to load the
library dynamically at the runtime. I'm afraid that to make it work
with pre-linked
library would mean rewriting a portion of the code.
Cheers!
