Hello Otto,

There should not be any issues when upgrading to Forky - the
metapackage just becomes obsolete and is replaced by a direct
dependency.

I plan to do a mass bug filing tomorrow on these:

boinc: libboinc-app-dev
cl-sql: cl-sql-mysql

This seem to be a very short list: you will drop default-libmysqlclient- dev too, correct? Will also care about package having a B-D on default- libmysqlclient-dev?

Please also consider to include packages in your list that have a Suggests/Recommends on those default-* packages.
