Theoretically, yes. The default config is to use a local one, however.

mysql-server should not be a requirement then. If it is possible to run the server on another machine, then the mysql-server should be removed from the Requires.

I do the exact same thing with one of my packages, poker-server. poker-server *requires* a mysql-server, but does not require that it be run on the same machine. Therefore mysql-server should *NOT* be in the Requires list.
