MySQL database client (metapackage depending on the latest version)

 This is an empty package that depends on the current "best" version of
 mysql-client (currently mysql-client-5.5), as determined by the MySQL
 maintainers. Install this package if in doubt about which MySQL version
 you want, as this is the one we consider to be in the best shape.
