Bug Description

The description in `apt-cache show` ends with this paragraph:

    Note that MariaDB also comes with an included version of the client library.
    The main reason to use this package, rather than libmariadbclient-dev, is
    differences in licensing: this package uses the LGPL, while
    libmariadbclient-dev uses the GPL.

But the package libmariadbclient-dev appears no longer to exist in 15.10 (nor in 16.04).
