typo3-base is the standard package. It just contains all the stuff from
source and depends on the things that are really needed.
Since you could also run your MySQL server on another computer, typo3-base
will not depend on mysql-server. It simply recommends it.

Since apt-get does not care about recommendations (it just ignores them -
but dselect would list them) I have also created a new package:
typo3-env is a dummy-package which depends on all stuff, including
mysql-server, imagemagick, etc.

Use the packages listed there and everything should work fine... :-)

Hope this helps.
