Bug Description
The current version of drizzle in maverick is failing unit tests on 32-bit architectures, and is very old. Suggest updating to the latest upstream as significant changes and improvements have been made.
== REMOVAL ==
The version of drizzle that is in maverick now is an alpha version. We have looked at importing the latest drizzle version, but it would still be a pre-release, alpha version. As such, after discussing with the drizzle development team, its been decided that it is better to not have a potentially incompatible version of drizzle in the archive, and direct users toward the project's official PPA.
Please remove the source package 'drizzle', from maverick, and these binaries which it builds:
drizzle-client
drizzle-server
drizzle-plugin-dev
None of these have any reverse dependencies.

I have been working with Monty Taylor on this bug. The plan is to get it into Debian sid and then merge it in from there. The symbols are different from protobuf in sid and maverick, but this should be a relatively easy merge.
Drizzle releases their first beta on Monday, which resolves the issues seen in the build failures, and we're targetting "shortly after that" for this being uploaded into sid and maverick.
