As per the suggestion of this documentation of cpanel  
[URL=“[https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Replace+MySQL+with+Percona](https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Replace+MySQL+with+Percona)”][https://documentation.cpanel.net/dis...L+with+Percona[/URL]](https://documentation.cpanel.net/dis...L+with+Percona%5B/URL%5D)

I tried doing the same  
ln -sv /usr/lib64/libperconaserverclient.so /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so

root@instance-5:/home/cpsmscin/gateway-svn# uname -ar  
Linux instance-5 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1~bpo70+1 (2015-06-08) x86\_64 GNU/Linux  
root@instance-5:/home/cpsmscin/gateway-svn# mysql --version  
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.25-73.1, for debian-linux-gnu (x86\_64) using 6.2

But NO LUCK ☹
