install mysql-server source.

apt-get source mysql-server # root access not needed

This will create some archive files in the current directory. In my debian lenny it creates the following directories. In your Ubuntu it'll be almost same.

 mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.51a
 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.51a-24+lenny5.diff.gz
 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.51a-24+lenny5.dsc
 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.51a.orig.tar.gz

Now inspect the debian/rules file in extracted source. I did it by this,

  less mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.51a/debian/rules

You can use other editor (nano, vi, gedit all are okay). Arround line 68 you'll see the configuration option
