 http://packages.debian.org

 specifically:
 http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libmysqlclient-dev

 if i download the package and unpack it manually, the file is there in 
 /usr/include/mysql/

 what i was getting at is there is no problem with the package being 
 installed from the debian servers. so, it looks like the problem is on 
 your computer

 it installed fine here, and the file is now at 
 /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
