(Please note that "Ubuntu 14" isn't a thing; it's 14.04, and the 14 is a
truncated year not a major version. Otherwise, this is outside my
expertise.)

This is a mistaken analysis. /usr/sbin/mysqld is in
mysql-server-core-5.5, not mysql-server-5.5, and therefore its debugging
symbols are in mysql-server-core-5.5-dbgsym:
$ dpkg -c mysql-server-core-5.5-dbgsym_5.5.44-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.ddeb |
grep 5b99
-rwxrwxr-x root/root 48818397 2015-07-16 23:50
./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/7c/5b991d6ba0d7722a41f9a39e2915f6a354a1c7.debug
(The debugging packages are automatically generated and their
dependencies do not necessarily correspond to those of the runtime
packages, so you can't just go "oh, I installed mysql-server-5.5 and got
mysqld, mysql-server-5.5-dbgsym must be good enough", you have to check
the actual package name with "dpkg -S".)
The information that Gareth provided indicated that they already had
mysql-server-core-5.5-dbgsym installed, so perhaps this problem is
entirely explained by the NT_STAPSDT bit above.
