I tried it out for my local builds on jessie

dget -x
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mysql-defaults/mysql-defaults_1.0.1.dsc

cd mysql-defaults-1.0.1

sed -i -e 's/libmariadbclient-dev-compat/libmysqlclient-dev/g' \
   debian/control

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us


That built a default-libmysqlclient-dev_1.0.1_amd64.deb that I could
install in jessie.

Would one of the MySQL / MariaDB maintainers like to upload that as a
backport, or I can go ahead and upload it myself?
