At least in the short term we can handle this by flagging that file as a conffile (changes will not be automatically overwritten on package upgrade).

Posted by developer: Noted in 5.6.36, 5.7.18, 8.0.1 changelogs. For Debian/Ubuntu packages, user-defined collation files could be overwritten during MySQL upgrades. Charset files are now marked as conffiles so that user customizations generate a prompt during upgrades whether to overwrite them.
