Bug Description
[IMPACT]
Bacula is not installable using the 'bacula' metapackage by itself.
[TEST CASE]
sudo apt-get install bacula
Results in:
bacula : Depends: bacula-server but it is not going to be installed
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
Minimal - the fix is only in the package control file and ensures that the bacula-sd-mysql package is preferred over any other Provider of bacula-sd-tools.
[ORIGINAL BUG REPORT]
I installed a brand new ubuntu 12.04 server, did update and dist-upgrade.
Now when I try and install bacula, I get the below message.

Oh, and this happens on my workstation as well, so it doesn't seem to be an isolated case.
