Definitely daemon_example. The rest is nice to have (e.g. I wouldn't want my
app to exit if embedded gets --print-defaults).

But the fix should be different: change of abort to exit makes little sense.
Either we should pass through error code, or disable code which is never
executed by embedded/libmysqlclient with ifdefs.

The right fix as described above may become complex, so I'd rather postpone it
for 10.2. But Debian is suffering from this now with 10.0.

I don't know.

I think the reason behind "critical" is our willing to please Debian.

If you don't mind I'll push daemon_example part of this fix and remove
my_abort_hook: one line less in lintian report is a progress still.

Thanks,
Sergey
