How to repeat:
dpkg -c mysql-community-server_8.0.16-1debian9_amd64.deb

Suggested fix:
mysql-community-server should not contain debug binaries, but only service, script and configuration files.

Hi!

Thanks for your report!

mysql-community-server was split into -server and -server-core, with debug bins
still in -server, that's was a mistake.

Debug bins should to go it's own package -server-core-debug.

Posted by developer:
 
Fixed in 8.0.17.

To reduce the download size and disk footprint of mysql-community-server
Linux packages, debug binaries and plugins have been moved to separate
packages for these platforms:

* EL8, Fedora: The mysql-community-server package with debug binaries and
  associated plugins is now split into a mysql-community-server package
  without debug binaries or plugins and a mysql-community-server-debug
  package with debug binaries and plugins.

* Debian: The mysql-community-server package with debug binaries and
  associated plugins is now split into a mysql-community-server package
  without debug binaries or plugins, a mysql-community-server-debug
  package with debug binaries, and a mysql-community-test-debug package
  with debug plugins.

In all cases, the debug packages are dependent on the corresponding
mysql-community-server package.
