I haven't actually really looked at the source package lintian warnings,
mainly concerning myself with the ones for the resulting binary
packages, which is where the embedded-library warnings come up.

If you run lintian on percona-server-server-5.5 binary package you'll
see it. I was nervous to add the "embedded-library binary:
/usr/bin/mysqlslap" warning as that would suppress all embedded library
warnings, including zlib, which was actually a problem in my Percona
Server 5.6 packaging work (now fixed)

Thanks for the feedback though, much appreciated!
