I did a few more install/upgrade tests of the new packages with pbuilder
and so far everything looks fine, but a few tests are still in the queue.

There are a few more commits after looking at lintian's results:

Andreas Beckmann (4):
      mysql-common.prerm: deregister the my.cnf.fallback alternative
*before* removal
      drop explicit dependency on multiarch-support
      use canonical Vcs-* URLs
      move innochecksum manpage to mysql-server-core-5.6, too


The last one was another inconsistency compared to mariadb ...

I'll probably upload this later today unless I find some upgrade
problems. I'll leave the d/copyright bug I filed yesterday unfixed, that
needs someone with more knowledge of the source. But I'd happily take a
commit/patch that fixes it :-) Unbreaking mysql in sid (i.e. Robies 2
commits) is more important IMHO.
