Percona seems to be more careful about dependencies and maintainer
scripts, so that one can go back to stock MySQL from Percona.

MariaDB's packaging produced an issue where I could not go back to stock
MySQL or to Percona Server from MariaDB.

Right now, I'm more convinced that charms need includes of some kind, so
that the 99% of code that the charms will share can be in one charm, and
then just include the slight differences for maria/percona/stock mysql.

You're welcome to dive in and try to solve this. For now, stock MySQL
and Percona are the only options.
