[mono-packagers] Provider Factories in Mono on Ubuntu

[Daniel Morgan]

Provider Factory info in the machine.config file is included for the providers that are part of Mono's class libraries: SqlClient, Sqlite, OracleClient, Odbc.  However, providers that are added separately are not.

Is it possible to include this provider factory info in the machine.config for MySql.Data, Firebird, Npgsql2?

The question applies to Debian and other Linux distributions too.

This is what the machine.config file has for the NET_2_0 profile:
