I'm aware of that with respect to Debian - simply recompiling the
package does not work, or at least not for Lenny (that's where I needed
it).

I didn't see that.

I'm not overly concerned with Ubuntu bugs atm, although I'm willing to
consider patches that make things work on Ubuntu if the Debian side is
all green.

Please take into account that I'm so far doing this single-handedly,
while the non-cluster-enabled mysql package is maintained by a whole
team.

I'm more than willing to team up, but wasn't yet able to make all
connections.

Also, this package does not currently have the highest priority for me,
but will, once finished, also be available as a backport.
