[debian-mysql] Bug#790640: FTBFS: hash.h: No such file or directory

[Mateusz Kijowski]

I had a feeling that not only mydumper is suffering from that, but
apparently I'm wrong.

mydumper has a build option not to include the file resulting in less
functional, but working package. I don't think they will fix that anytime
soon, since their resolution is to disable this part of code:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mydumper/+bug/1276743 . I used this approach in
my new build of the package, which is waiting for my sponsor to review and
upload it. In case anyone else is interested in doing that the package is
available on mentors.d.n [1].
