The reason was that at the first time somebody announced Sarge as
"soon to be frozen" (a year ago or so *g*) the 4.1 branch was not
yet very mature and I was afraid of releasing Sarge with a too buggy
version although MySQL already declared it as stable.
Also, many packages already linked against the libmysqlclient from that
branch and had all to be rebuild against 4.1.

At the time of Sarge's release 4.0 was no longer wanted but removing
it had been too much work (and now the same situation appears with 5.0
which may or may not be stable when Etch is ready to release).
