Steven,
        First a question. How does this relate to the 'mysql_tzinfo_to_sql'
tool that comes with mysql-5.5 (and presumably MySQL cluster as well)?

        Secondly this would be quite a small package. We have never had a
definitive answer from the FTP masters, on when they reject packages for
smallness - as they leave it vague. But they do explicitly retain the
right to do so and have done so in the past.

        Thirdly Clint already identified the need to factor out common code
between MySQL, MariaDB, Percona and presumably MySQL cluster. I can
think of the following at least as possible commonalities:
        * DFSG tools
        * license/copyright checking (#597861)
        * common fragments of debian/rules
        * init and maintenance scripts (although for MariaDB and Percona I am
only expecting to package server-core).
        * Perhaps apparmor,   systemd and upstart stuff as well (not that the
systemd stuff would be used in ubuntu).

You'd be welcome to change this bug into an ITP for such a package.
