I find no Debian listing for mysqldump but do find one for mydumper 
which, I think, is what you are really looking for. As for as the rest, 
try apt-get install mysql-client and/or mysql-server. These are wrappers 
that will install the latest versions. Check the Debian Packages page on 
their web site. I don't see mysql-core-5.5 listed.
