Please have a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348854, guess it's related to this very old and already fixed bug in the debian mysql packages too.

This is easy to verify on clean Debian 7 (without mysql-* installed):

libmysqlclient18 is based on 5.5.31 for now, so 5.6 is not directly related.

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PS-2965
