The attached debdiff seems to help gmysqlcc, mediatomb, mydumper,
mysql-connector-++ to build.
It still fails for myodbc with the following error:

+ - Patched mysql_config so that it no longer mandates -lssl -lcrypto
+ - Added libwrap0-dev as a dependency of libmysqld-dev, libmysqld-pic
+ - Added libaio-dev as a Linux dependency of libmysqld-dev, libmysqld-pic
