Thanks for preparing the update.

This looks good, but see one change which seem included below:

Did you build not on top of the last update? Because we corrected the
CVE ids in the 5.5.53-0+deb8u1 upload. CVE-2016-6662 does not belong
there, and was already fixed in the DSA-3666-1 with mysql-5.5
5.5.52-0+deb8u1, cf. the resulting changelog for 5.5.53-0+deb8u1 in
https://bugs.debian.org/841050#62 for the DSA-3666-1 upload . I don't
remember exactly, but I though I had asked someone of the mysql
packaging team to import the final changes to the packaging
repository.

With that fixed, and build with -sa (to include the orig tarball)
please do upload to security-master.

Thanks for your work!

Regards,
Salvatore
