Purchased?=20

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev=20

should do it. If you're looking to keep more up to date but losing the
advantages of the mainstream debian ( mainly the volume of testing ),
then

echo deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

beforehand. This will upgrade you to mysql 5.5, php 5.3.8 and a few
others which may be of use.

( sudo will be needed if not superuser ).

hth,
