Surely it only pulls in the client libraries?  I can see no evidence that it
will actually pull in the database servers; that would be nuts.

Admittedly the mysql client libraries are a bit large (5MB) but that could be
seen as a packaging bug since it contains the client command line interface as
well.  (perl-DBD-MySQL just wants libmysqlclient.)  The Postgres client libs are
only 500K.

In any case, I'm not sure it would be acceptable to filter the perl-DBD
dependencies and require that the end user know that they need to install one or
the other.  I guess it depends on whether or not then can be warned at setup
time; if that's possible then it would be reasonable to do so.  This isn't
exactly and install-and-go package so I think it's acceptable to have them go
back and pull in another package.
