Hi,
this is a really sad case, but as Ubuntu I'm not seeing what else we could do 
here than leaving things as is. The delivery of security fixes is important to 
the majority of users.

In this particular case in the referenced upstream bug and further links
from there [2] indicate that Microsoft <-> Mysql have given up to
implement something on the Azure DB side to work with the security-fixed
version of mysql. But on the other hand we can not really revert that
change to provide mysql re-opening known security issues.

It seems in [2] that Microsoft has settled on "then use Flexible Server
instead of Single Server". I have to admit I do not know what all that
implied (more cost, data migration, ... it does not seem to be as drop-
in replacement to me :-/) but right now as sad as it is this seems to be
the only way out of this for affected users.

I see that @emgag continues to use the older builds, while that works it
means you lack CVE fixes and with every new upload there will be more
that you miss. So please consider using that only as fallback until you
have made a transition to the "Flexible Server" or other alternatives.

If there is a way to retain the CVE fix, but a follow up change allows
to use the "Azure DB for Mysql - Single server" again please speak up
and let us know. But unless such a thing exists this has to be
"incomplete" as no one can really act on it for an Ubuntu upload to fix
it.
