and that is why libmysql-support should be dropped to get this clean

the other extensions MAY require mysql
if they use mysqlnd they do not
if they use libmysql they do

mysqlnd does exactly what you want - there is no longer any mysql-package
needed on a server to have mysql-support in php because libmysql would
not be needed - i really do not understand why tis legacy libmysql-support
will not be simply dropped - nobody needs this these days in php

on the other hand that some auto-tests seem behave differently depending
on mysqlnd/libmysql shows that the existence of both makes only troubles

normally a auto-tets shuld have ONE expected result
