This is not a duplicate of 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=995066 but there's an 
easier fix for #995066 and #996389: to add

default-character-set = utf8mb4

to [client] section of /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.

This seems to be working with legacy charsets too, so you may consider 
the issue closed.
Thanks.
