the #778 ticket is similar but is resolved by any mysql build that is on linux/arm64/v8, however no mysql:5.7 build for platform linux/arm64/v8 exists

Oracle only publishes arm packages for 8.0, and only for OracleLinux.

Is there a reason why the Debian variants are only built for amd64?

(In other words, that's not a question we can answer as we don't build them 😅)

Oh I see, even Dockerfile.debian uses mysql packages from Oracle rather than packages from Debian. That indeed explains why it's not built for arm64. A debian-debian variant that uses both debian as a distro and as a source for the mysql-server package would be a useful addition, then. :-)

For these images we try to be as close to upstream releases as possible, so we use the Oracle-provided packages (i.e. provided by MySQL upstream developers).

Also, Debian replaced the MySQL package with MariaDB back in the stretch release (2017), so we can't even get it from Debian packages (https://wiki.debian.org/MySql, https://packages.debian.org/stretch/default-mysql-server).
