Actually this is a very common problem. Either mysql doesn't know about a user called "debian-sys-maint" or it doesn't have localhost permission. Mysql has it's own user db independant of the system. You'll need to go into mysql command prompt as root and do a GRANT to create debian-sys-maint and give it whatever access you want it to have. These permissions are host specific so user@'anywhere' is not the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED], blame the regex. If you already fiddled around with this and it still doesn't work then destroy any references to the user with some REVOKE's or manually beat the db entry and start over. This prob is actually well documented in the MySQL html manual.
