[debian-mysql] Bug#692871: mysql-server-5.5: Regression in privileges of mysql debian-sys-maint user

[Clint Byrum]

Package: mysql-server-5.5
Version: 5.5.28+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Justification: important

This bug was originally reported in Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1062716

Basically, the debian-sys-maint user, which is inserted via raw INSERT, is
missing a new privilege for 5.5. This causes problems for those who rely
on the user to be able to create users and do other things. This may have
also been the issue with warnings we've seen about schema differences.
