Sure. However the dependencies on libmysqlclient varies, and DBD::MySQL
and other already-packaged modules which depend on libmysqlclient might
need to be purged and compiled using dh-make-perl or any other helper,
or just installed manually. I planned to recompile Sarge's source
package under Etch; I guess that's the nicest way. Of course it's
possible to have Koha in Etch (I had it, just decided to fallback to
Sarge) it's just quite more complicate to achieve, a little bit
unmanageable and currently highly complex to do by means of an official
Debian package.
