[debian-mysql] Support for MySQL packages in Debian

[Akhil Mohan]

Hi Bjoern,

I discussed the upcoming tasks with Norvald and have already downloaded 
the 5.6 packaging source from 
svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/pkg-mysql/mysql-5.6/trunk/debian.
The bugs are already under consideration but the expected changes due to 
these bugs will probably be too large to find placein 5.6.

I will go through the postinst script along with rest of the packaging 
source to see how I can make some useful contributions.
You may let me know if thereis anything specific in your mind.

Akhil
