[debian-mysql] Bug#698068: mysql-server-5.5: Serious regression in replication caused by fix for CVE-2012-4414

[Clint Byrum]

I will try and upload 5.5.30 packages soon. No point in shipping old stuff in the release when more changes are bound to drop in security updates anyway. So we should downgrade this bug after that upload.
