The results of running "apt-cache showsrc mysql-dfsg" disagree with you here.
Anyway, my understanding is that having packages in unstable which cannot be
built from source is a serious policy violation and must be fixed. It would
also be good to have a new upload anyway removing the superceded
mysql-{client,server,common} packages from the source package.
By the way, the libmysqlclient12-dev package is still in unstable, too, and
lots of packages still Build-Depend on it. Do you consider that such
packages must be recompiled against newer libraries, or is that only
something that would be nice?
Anyway, I'm not going to play BTS tug-of-war here, but I still disagree with
the bug being closed. I'm CC'ing debian-release to get a more official
opinion on this.
