maybe the script could somehow check if the password in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf is still the same as in the mysql database, or if that doesnt work, then try to login as root and prompt the user for a password? After all this bug has been in existance now for two years and keeps surfacing all the time?
Also the pre-removal script could give a more descriptive error such as: login with "debian-sys-maint" failed, check credentials. Oh, bug #501655 seems to be a duplicate.
