Bug Description
In processing removal of mysql-5.7 source from eoan, I was surprised to see that mysql-client
5.7.27-0ubuntu2 was in universe at the same time that mysql-client 8.0.16-0ubuntu3 was in main, both in the eoan release pocket.
I would normally expect the mysql-client binary from mysql-5.7 source package to have been superseded by mysql-client from mysql-8.0 source package when mysql-8.0 migrated to the release pocket, regardless of any difference in component (which there also really should not have been, they SHOULD have both been in main at the time the migration happened, but I haven't reviewed the history).
Both the old and new versions of the mysql-client package were Arch: all.
I wonder if this is related to Colin's recent work on fixing the race with multiple component overrides.

This is a long-standing property of the dominator, and not due to my recent changes. It happens any time multiple source packages in a suite build overlapping sets of binary packages.
