I appreciate the offer, but I have to decline because there's already
too much on my plane. I basically just want a fix for mysql-5.6 in
unstable, so I'd keep the diff as minimal as possible. I can add the
above two commit if you want (assuming they can easily be
cherry-picked). Will have a look.

Regards,
Michael
