    • requires confusing extra work to start a mysql server on a system that appears to have it installed already.
    • mysql init scripts look for virtual/mysql that should be a dep of dev-db/mariadb at least in some circumstances and isn't.

      The result is that /etc/init.d/mysql doesn't start and complains only that there isn't an appropriate server package installed.  The init script was pulled in as a dependency of mariadb itself, but it points to missing virtual/mysql as the culprit. 

      I think we should add a dependency so that USE="server" causes virtual/mysql to be pulled in with USE="server" as well, so that the mysql init script is satisfied and the server can be used.
