[debian-mysql] mysql-5.7: secure_file_priv

[Bjoern Boschman]

Hi folks,

I've started working on a mysql-5.7 branch [0].

While doing so I had to phase the following difference between 5.6<->5.7

secure_file_priv [1]

mysql-5.6 default for this setting was 'empty'  which simply disables this
feature.
mysql-5.7 builds with (what we currently do) '/var/lib/mysql-files' which
is based on the used INSTALL_LAYOUT=RPM [2]

my question is now: how shall I handle this?
I would not like to add  secure_file_priv= within mysqld.cnf as this would
deactivate this feature for customers who want to use this on purpose.

I'm thinking of switching INSTALL_LAYOUT=STANDALONE as this seems to be the
only usage of this cmake flag.

@Oracle employees: can you confirm that this has no other impact?
