I expect the Debian NEW process to take a while, so I don't think
waiting for that should block adding libnss-mysql to Trisquel earlier.
The packages can be synced later on.  Be sure to put non-Debian
packaging on a separate branch like trisquel/aramo or something, and
don't touch debian/sid until ftp-master reply.  I think it is fine to
use Salsa to maintain the packaging for Trisquel, several packages on
Salsa contain non-Debian branches for other distributions.
Alternatively, putting trisquel-specific branches on gitlab.trisquel.org
is fine too.
