Hi
I'll try to shade some light on some of the lintian issues.

I just run lintian (2.5.19) on percona-server-5.5_5.5.32-31.0-1_source.changes
and got following output:

Most of this stuff is quite easy to fix.

Here is the link to linitan overrides doc
(http://lintian.debian.org/manual/section-2.4.html)
From percona-server-client-5.5.lintian-overrides, is:
percona-server-client-5.5: embedded-library usr/bin/mysqlslap: libmysqlclient
should be:
embedded-library binary: /usr/bin/mysqlslap

But I can't see this type of issue in my lintian output.

About above error: 'The Debian copyright file must be valid UTF-8' and line 559
looks like this:
Copyright: 1997-2000 - Kungliga Tekniska H<F6>gskolan

Docs for http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ regarding lintian output I've got,
you're lacking Copyright field between lines 133 & 134

Sorry for not providing patches but I'm short of time atm.
