The link above lists:
/usr/include/mysql

Which is a symbolic link to directory /usr/include/mariadb/, which in
turn includes mysql.h and all the other build time files.

I am just puzzled why the Postfix build did not pull in
libmariadb-dev-compat, since it does have as a build dependency
default-libmysqlclient-dev, which points to libmariadb-dev-compat...
