If it's not part of the public API, then I don't think it's appropriate for the package to include it. We'd effectively be forking the MySQL ABI, breaking compatibility with the rest of the ecosystem and generally causing future pain and confusion. This confusion is what I believe upstream are busy trying to fix by better clearly defining the available API to avoid future compatibility problems. It seems like you've fallen on the wrong side of this. Can you work with upstream to get the functionality you need included as part of the public API?
