👻 Non-existing path for ExecStartPre and ExecStartPost properties of SystemD unit file

During bootstrapping of Debian 11 node with this cookbook mysql service fails to start due to wrong path for ExecStartPre and ExecStartPost properties of SystemD unit file.

I am using recommended mysql APT repo from official mysql docs https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/#repo-qg-apt-repo-manual-setup

root@srv2800:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list
deb      http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/ bullseye mysql-8.0

🚓 Expected behavior

It seems APT packages for mysql v8 installs SystemD unit files into path /usr/share/mysql-8.0/ and not into path /usr/share/mysql.

root@srv2800:~# ls -ald /usr/share/mysql-8.0/
drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 Sep 26 12:20 /usr/share/mysql-8.0/

The same behaviour I can confirm on Debian 10 (buster) where are unit files under /usr/share/mysql-8.0 and NOT under /usr/share/mysql:

Can you have a look at this

mysql/libraries/helpers.rb

Line 295 in c1b785f

'/usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-start pre'

➕ Additional context

This is my mysql_service resource defined in my custom cookbook

mysql_service 'default' do
  error_log '/var/log/mysql/error.log'
  version '8.0'
  package_name 'mysql-server'
  package_version '8.0.30-1debian11'
  bind_address '0.0.0.0'
  initial_root_password 'SuperS3cr3tPa$$W0rd'
  action [:create, :start]
end
