No, why? Probably some package in default needs the client libraries of
MySQL, so those are installed.

I think there was a change in upstream as of about version 4 to *not*
install any actual database by default. Only the client gets
installed. The argument was that their support folks were spending an
inordinate amount of time helping people get their databases configured
and running.
