Which architecture do you use?  I have amd64 packages in use that I
could make public.

libapache-mod-auth-mysql is the old source package.
libapache2-mod-auth-mysql is the binary package.

I don't know if the binary package from unstable works fine on stable,
thus I proposed to rebuild it from source.

I'm currently working on that package to get it back into unstable
and hopefully testing as well.  You may also try the new package if
you like.  <http://luonnotar.infodrom.org/~joey/mod_auth_mysql/>
