Ah, thanks for pointing this out, we will update the mapping for RHEL.

There isn't but you can sidestep the issue by installing the mysql-devel
package yourself and then using ?sys:libmysqlclient/* instead, which
essentially tell bpkg to assume the system package is already installed
and its version should match any constraint (this, BTW, was one of the
suggestions in the diagnostics above).
