We now have the below commit changing this into one package, so I think
we're just waiting for Jonas to make a release.

I'm therefore closing this bug report.

commit 9e236b82a2da24bb9983e2f63061323354d6ecfe
Author: Jonas Bernoulli <jonas@bernoul.li>

    * elpa-packages (emacsql): Include all connector libraries.

    * elpa-packages (emacsql-mysql): Remove package.
    * elpa-packages (emacsql-psql): Remove package.
    * elpa-packages (emacsql-sqlite): Remove package.
    * elpa-packages (emacsql-sqlite-builtin): Remove package.

    This was requested in
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2022-12/msg00525.html.

    None of these packages have been released on NonGNU ELPA yet but they
    are already available from NonGNU-devel ELPA.  A single package in GNU
    ELPA and GNU-devel ELPA depends on `emacsql': `triples', but it only
    depends on `emacsql', not `emacsql-sqlite'.

    On MELPA some packages do depend on `emacsql-sqlite', so there I was
    forced to continue to distribute the connector libraries as separate
    packages for now, but `emacsql' from MELPA now contains all libraries
    too.

    This will be fixed once the next version of `emacsql' is released,
    which should happen next month.  That will also require new releases
    of all the packages that currently depend on `emacsql-sqlite'.  You
    can find more details about the roadmap and the complications in
