apt-get source mysql will simply get the source used to compile the
mysql deb.  This will usually result in a number of files being
deposited in your current directory, like a tarball of the official
mysql source, some diffs, etc.

To get the mysql development files, you'll need to install
libmysqlclient-dev.  In this case, 'apt-cache search' is your friend.

Good luck,
