[bug#30864] mailutils: fix TODO note and build with mariadb sql

[ng0]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5810 bytes --]

mailutils had this note to build it with sql.

I picked mariadb, the attached patch builds alright.

But:
Why do we want this? mariadb adds *very much* to the size of the package and its
dependencies.

size before adding mariadb:

That’s multiplied by 4.5, so I’d rather not do it, especially since it
doesn’t contribute to a core functionality of Mailutils AFAIK.

That said, the main problem here is the size of mariadb (and mysql),
which take 200–300 MiB alone (not the closure).  We can revisit this
issue when we’ve made them smaller.

How does that sound?

Yep, it's not very good.

It's okay with me.
Do you think we should close this bug for now?
