Fixes issue with MySQL not installing on Debian 9. mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb requires a pre-dependency called lsb-release. If this is not found, MySQL 8 will not install. Instead, its installs MariaDB and attempts to import the mysqldump file which creates a mess. Note: MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.3 differ significantly from each other. MariaDB is no longer a drop-in replacement for MySQL. MariaDB is no longer merging new MySQL features with MariaDB nor solving MySQL bugs. This fixes the issue. Also note, the MySQL 8 install prompts the user to select between standard and development versions. User has to cursor down to "OK" and select enter.
