The mysql server is included in the mysql-server-5.0 packages since version
5.0. In older Debian releases with mysql 3.23 and 4.0 the package was called
just mysql-server. So we needed the "empty" mysql-server package for smooth
upgrades. In a normal testing/unstable environment there is of course no need
for it to stop the server as this is done by mysql-server-5.0.preinst but
I have to think about whether this might have been necessary for certain
upgrade paths...
At least I guess that it's not a grave issue as it's unlikely that
mysql-server gets upgraded at a different time than mysql-server-5.0.
