I was testing the upgrade in an almost vanilla jessie VM that I had created with vagrant. I installed "mysql-server", and then proceeded with the install. I didn't install "default-mysql-server" before the upgrade since I wasn't tracking jessie-backports. I was following this procedure (sorry it's a weird mixture of english and french but you can probably make out most of it by looking at what commands are there): https://wiki.koumbit.net/StretchUpgrade it's somewhat based on minimal downtime procedure here with added convoluted steps to keep from upgrading the puppet client since our master is not yet upgraded: http://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#services-downtime so after both the upgrade and dist-upgrade, I tried connecting with the client and the server wasn't there. I unfortunately lost the package list that I sent in my first failed attempt at opening this bug. but I could reproduce and give you more info if you'd like. from what I can remember, only the mysql-server-5.5 package was marked as uninstalled.
