Description:
formally reported as bug #49022

please include the debug build of ha_innodb_plugin.so in all packages that have a debug build of mysqld-debug and support innodb plugin.

How to repeat:
compare the lib/plugin directory in the following or try using mysqld-debug+plugin
mysql-advanced-gpl-noinstall-5.1.50-winx64.zip
mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.50-solaris10-x86_64.tar.gz
mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.50-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz

you will notice only windows has a debug build of the innodb plugin
because the mysqld-debug doesn't load the release build of the plugin.

Suggested fix:
include the debug build of innodb plugin in all packages. this is needed to improve testing and debugging.

this apparently solved in 5.5 already,  but 5.1 is GA now, and 5.5 is not yet GA.
we need a solution in a GA release. even if it means a quick hack to get a working debug plugin included in packages.

Since 5.1 is no longer the current GA, I dont think we need to worry about this anymore.
