If you need quick fixes, then upload current mysql-5.6 with these commits added:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mysql.git/commit/?id=526dbaff5888344c35e1be413fabe3ea7b186afc
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mysql.git/commit/?id=65f1a907b695fcfed8e245e733709ed0289cdf7b

Ideally all work would be gone using the team's git repositories. Do
you plan to contribute to MySQL/MariaDB packaging in the future too?
In that case I could add you to the team, you are a DD after all.
