okay, i'm going to make an upload to stable-proposed-updates at some
point this weekend, after i've verified that i can make such a fix.
i'll then leave it joey to decide whether or not it warrants being

that's my thoughts. anyone who jumps from mysql-server in woody to
mysql-server-4.1 in a completely new release of debian without
dist-upgrading their system first should *expect* for there to be a

and tell them what they have to do to fix it :)
