[debian-mysql] Patches for MySQL 5.6 packaging

[Akhil Mohan]

Hi Björn,

I have spent some time with the postinst script for MySQL 5.6 packages 
and I was able to resolve most of the visible issues with the script 
that were blocking the installation.
Please find the 'svn diff' output attached along with this mail for your 
review.

Most of the changes are in postinst script and a small patch has been 
added to modify search path for finding my-default.cnf file in source 
file scripts/mysql_install_db.pl.in.

With the above modifications, I am able to create packages that can 
perform a install, un-install and re-install. Moreover, managing the 
mysql service with '/etc/init.d/mysql start|stop|restart' works fine. 
All the testing has been done on a fresh install of wheezy without 
having any version of MySQL pre-installed.

Please let me know if the attached modifications are of acceptable 
quality and if there are more such areas that require immediate attention.

Regards,
Akhil
