I'm currently setting up MySQL to run with multiple servers using
mysqld_multi.  However when I created additional config files in
/etc/mysql/conf.d for the different servers the mysqld_multi command
doesn't read them, so I have to put all the additional configuration
into the main /etc/mysql/my.conf file.

Please could mysqld_multi be fixed so that it processes the
!includedir line?

The seems to happen with amd64 arch too.

Those two bugs (#559162 on MySQL 5.5 and #637108 on MySQL 5.1) are the same.

The upstream (duplicates) bugs are
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49356 and
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=29327.

As upstream doesn't seem to move, we should probably include the
simple fix in Debian:

It is really disappointing that this low hanging fruit wasn't fixed
for wheezy. Having all this config in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, which is
shipped by mysql-common, causes major headache on dist-upgrade.
