Currently I'm strongly against any such hacks as Debian specific patch as
every Debian patch raises the possibility that Debian packages behave
"different" than others and reproducing bugs gets harder.

Please ask MySQL if they want to test it on all architectures and different
hardware platforms and include it into the upstream package. It sounds
promising at least.
