Update: 12/13 20:52 GMT by  J : MySQL AB's Director of Architecture (and
former Slash programmer) Brian Aker corrects an apparent
miscommunication in a blog post: "we are just starting to roll out
[Enterprise] binaries... We don't build binaries for Debian in part
because the Debian community does a good job themselves... If you call
MySQL and you have support we support you if you are running Debian (the
same with Suse, RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu and others)... someone in Sales was
left with the wrong information"
