You can workaround this using some options to apt.  You can use

apt install broctl  mysql-common-

to install broctl but not pull in the mysql libs.  This gets the package install from 76 packages and 94MB to 48 packages and 65MB.

Using

apt install --no-install-recommends broctl

gets it down to 37 packages and 48MB, but that probably leaves out some things that you'd want like the geoip stuff.
