Thanks, but there is no such thing in Debian as mysql-systemd-start or
mysqld_safe in Debian Testing.  And I don't have the ability to research
and deeply analyze what these do, much less ascertain more subtle
differences that might occur.  And we are still on MySQL 5.5.

I was trying to reach a Debian MySQL maintainer to see if they have
anything.
