ehm; it seems you are not aware of how else this can be done, then.
You can detect if a library (like the mysql one) is installed at runtime 
and not use the database when not installed.

This is very different to your approach and allows you to have a fully 
installed kexi (no splitting by distributors needed).  As soon as mysql 
is installed separately kexi will be able to use it.
Please ask on #kde-devel for example on how this works.
