Oh, I see. I think I'm misunderstanding the way the default- libmysqlclient-dev metapackage works. I thought it would check to see which database (MariaDB or MySQL) was installed and then adjust code to link to the right libraries and headers. But in fact, it is doing this at the distro level, so under Ubuntu it resolves to MySQL and Debian to MariaDB.
There are other reasons I want to go down the MariaDB path (mainly for compatability with my computer at work which is using MariaDB), so I guess I will need to live without gdal. I think this is just a conflict and not a bug.
