Bug#345113: mysql-server-4.1: conffile prompts during upgrade

[Justin Pryzby]

Package: mysql-server-4.1
Severity: important

Upgrading from 4.0.24-10sarge1 to 5.0.16-1 I got a large number of
unnecessary conffile prompts.  I'm including a tarball of the files
that caused prompting.  Actually I'm not sure about the package names
or versions, so I'm also including my dpkg.log fragments.

This might be useful: http://www.dpkg.org/ConffileHandling

firefox and openssh also have this problem.
