[debian-mysql] MySQL 5.1 in unstable / fixing #508406

[Modestas Vainius]

Hello,

I would like to know when MySQL 5.1 is going to arrive at unstable. MySQL 5.1 
is considered stable by MySQL AB from now on.

I'm a maintainer of Amarok in Debian. Currently Amarok 2, which I really want 
to upload to unstable ASAP, depends on MySQL Embedded 5.1 and bug #508406 [1]. 
I'm afraid MySQLe will be the only blocker for Amarok 2 soon so it is really 
important for me to know your plans. It would be unfortunate if I had to 
resort to similar hacks like ubuntu did by bundling mysql 5.1 sources with 
amarok source package or something similar (hrrrrrr). At very least, I ask you 
to fix #508406 ASAP. It has a tested patch attached.

Please CC me when answering.
