Depending on the definition of replace I wonder if you could do a Provides: mysql as long as your the packages would appear similarly to dependent packages.
Yes, I think it should do 'Provides: mysql'. Otherwise it will break quire a few packages.
But as far as I understand, this is again a replacement of a base package.
If you package them as a direct replacement for mysql then yes but I would argue given that these versions are changed quite a bit they sould be packaged separately instead.
