You are right, it is the package maintainer's  decision — and I like his 
decision. For qt-mysql you need the MySQL Database Server installed. KMyMoney 
supports several database servers, so if you install MySQL you should install 
them, too. Anyway, there is no use installing them — most users will use no 
database at all.

Btw: the file backend is way better than the one for databases (e.g. a lot 
faster).
