I've filed issues upstream that they should build against the system gnutls and system wolfssl. I believe the server now builds against the system gnutls but there are still bundled codes in the sources. > While looking into it anyway, I was wondering why you are running cmake > directly instead of running it through dh_auto_configure.

The cmake line has been manually defined in the debian/rules files since the beginning of time and mysql-5.0 packaging or something. There are so many customizations – I don't know if we can dismantle it.
