What do you mean, 'change the line "dh_makeshlibs -V"'? A binNMU can't
include any changes to the source, but this line shouldn't appear in the
packages that *depend* on libmysqlclient15off anyway (or at least it's not
relevant to this change).
Please fix the library first -- ideally with a package name change or by
restoring the ABI, but at least with a bumped shlibs -- and then we can
binNMU the packages depending on it as needed.
