 for example, the descriptions of both mysql5 and mysql5-server state that
 it is a "multithreaded SQL database server". In reality, the former is the
 mysql5 client, required to access other mysql5 servers, and the latter is
 the real server in case one wants to run the server on their own computer.
 Making the description reflect the difference would be helpful to new
 users.
