[debian-mysql] Bug#708380: Bug#708380: mysql-server-5.5: Upgrade from squeeze to wheezy fails due deprecated replication config

[Bjoern Boschman]

hi,

those config options are user-supplied and in the meatime deprecated.
as far as I know there is no my.cnf config checker / tester which could
point the user that he has to manual do config update

but in terms of debian packaging it is not real our job to care about
user defined config parameters?!

Cheers
