It's provided by mysql-server-5.x. Since akonadi doesn't use that package (using mysql-server-core-5.x directly), it's reponsible for creating an alternate directory inside its own structure, parallel to its equivalent of /var/lib/mysql. This is an unfortunate consequence of the MySQL security update that requires it. aknoadi packaging needs to be updated to do this (or alter its MySQL configuration to not need it, etc). We should have picked up that this change was required in akonadi packaging before pushing the security update, and I've already apologised for that and suggested how we might work together to pick it up in advance next time. But akonadi packaging does still need to be updated whichever way.
