Packaging possibilities:
1) Make it as much modular as it is possible. Everything what can be build as a module will be build as a module and let the people choose what they really want.
I vote here. Specifically, introduce mysql-core and a mysql-$plugin for each plugin. Have the mysql package bring in -core and all -${plugin}s that are currently in 5.0. Have mysql-full bring in -core and all -${plugin}s that are packaged, as long as no -$plugin conflicts with a different one. Eventually, transition to the mysql package bringing in -core and popular/expected plugins -- basically tuned toward "the average user" instead of "exactly what 5.0 users expect".
Thank you for voting. If I understand correctly you are suggesting that mysql package will be virtual package which will install mysql-core which will be bare MySQL without any plugins and all usual myslq-*-plugin packages...
