Then have to fsck around with diffs at every upgrade?  Not the approach I
would take.  And please don't top-post.

I don't remember the details of how heartbeat works, but you should be able
to set the required variables and export them into the environment prior
to calling the mysql-server script.  If not, just create a wrapper script
that sets the required variables then calls the rc script.
