The problem is that it should Build-Depends on Percona MySQL which is
not yet available in Debian. I think the first step would be to provide
Percona MySQL packages. Currently, it seems that there is no easy way to
provide packages as alternative to MySQL but maybe work has already
started with MariaDB.
