Hmm - this makes me a little uncomfortable - introducing new features
in point releases does not seem like a great idea;  right new we are
able to push stable updates for mysql-5.5 because this does not happen.

Does this happen generally in the package?  I prefer that any
templating/conditional logic that massages the packaging lives in
debian/rules, not in the upstream cmake/Makefiles.
