For my own part I packaged MySQL Cluster some time ago, but missed the wheezy freeze and besides no one came forward as a sponsor (I'm not a DD). It's largely based on the mysql-5.5 packaging. https://github.com/SteveAyre/mysql-cluster Now the freeze is over I'll take a look at updating it following the meeting and raise it on debian-mentors again.
