(Because of the partitioning into client and server packages, the man
pages have to be partitioned to match; this interferes with the
configure script's handling of them so the list of pages ends up
hardcoded in these patches. And it seems the lists haven't been
updated since the first mysql 5.x package.)
For release MySQL 5.1 specific information please refer:

MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the
most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client-server
implementation that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many
different client programs/libraries.
The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.
The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many years. While
MySQL is still in development it already offers a rich and highly useful
function set.
The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).
This package contains the MySQL client programs and libraries.
