My only request concerning your proposal is that the -dev package name be left alone, so that existing packages which build-depend on libmysqlclient15-dev can be fixed with a simple rebuild on the autobuilders instead of forcing everyone to do sourceful uploads of their packages to change build-dependencies. The greater the number of reverse-dependencies a library has, the more important this is for making a smooth transition possible. Unless you were planning on keeping libmysqlclient15off around in unstable in parallel?
