[debian-mysql] Help build custom Debian MySQL package

[Monty Taylor]

Hi,

That's an old debian dir that I stuck in the upstream source. Don't use
it. I'd been removed in VC, and I _think_ it might be gone in 5.1.23rc?

Instead, I recommend adding the experimental repos that nobse just
uploaded some 5.1 packages to and then doing apt-get source mysql-server-5.1
