Bad idea as mysql_tzinfo_to_sql exist in the mariadb-client-compat
package. 'ln -s' will fail is mariadb-client-compat is installed and
probably break the mariadb-client-compat installation as overwriting
symlink is problematic in Debian.

Please remove the symlink and install mariadb-client-compat

I've added mariadb-client-compat as dependency for the mythtv-common
package for the next upload.
