Just to be clear, I want to announce this via debian-lts-announce but not
associate it to any DLA number because DLA means "a security issue has been
fixed" which is not the case here.
(BTW I'm not sure if it means "Debian LTS Advisory" or "Debian LTS
Announce")
And there are bots handling DLA to auto-publish news about possible
security issues... for example on lwn.net. And I don't think this is
appropriate.

We could do that, I just fear that there will a delay between the uploads
of the fixed packages and the final upload of mysql-5.5 and we will get
questions before then...
