[debian-mysql] Bug#673574: Bug#673574: mysql_config{_, _pic} --libmysqld-libs no longer lists -L/usr/lib/mysql

[Nicholas Bamber]

Modestas,
	The reason for the change is the Debian-wide Multiarch project 
(http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch). So mysql_config is correctly 
reporting where the libraries are to be found.
