[debian-mysql] Bug#608938: Mangles ext4 lost+found on install

[Anthony DeRobertis]

Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.49-3
Severity: important

I mounted /var/lib/mysql on a separate partition before installing
mysql-server. After installing:

root at Shamisen:~# ls -l /var/lib/mysql/
total 20492
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root         0 Jan  4 13:18 debian-5.1.flag
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 10485760 Jan  4 13:19 ibdata1
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql  5242880 Jan  4 13:23 ib_logfile0
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql  5242880 Jan  4 13:18 ib_logfile1
drwx------ 2 mysql mysql     4096 Jan  4 13:18 lost at 002bfound
drwx------ 2 mysql root      4096 Jan  4 13:18 mysql
-rw------- 1 root  root         6 Jan  4 13:18 mysql_upgrade_info

Note the wrong permission lost at 002bfound directory. It also now has a
db.opt file inside it.

It'd be nice if it just ignored directories called 'lost+found'. But it
should at least not break them.
