You could upgrade to sarge from woody, but I can't tell you that you
_should_ do so. There's always the possibility of breaking something. If
you do decide to make the upgrade, the general recommendations I gleaned
from this list when sarge was released as stable follow:
Install aptitude, if you haven't. Change your /etc/apt/sources.list to
point to stable or sarge rather than woody. Update your package list
with aptitude update, and then attempt the system upgrade with aptitude
dist-upgrade. You could use apt-get as well, but my understanding was
that aptitude was better at resolving the sort of dependency issues you
can get into during a system upgrade.
If you would rather not upgrade your system you could always attempt to
either use the mysql binaries from mysql.com, or build the source
yourself and install it manually, perhaps using checkinstall to make
sure it is added to your package system.
That's about as much as I know at this point. Good luck.
