Public bug reported:
When purging the server package, the user should be given the option to
remove data files. This is especially important if switching between
MySQL and MariaDB, as they are not compatible, so not cleaning up after
one is likely to make installation of the other fail.
However, the dialogue for this is never shown.
The cause is that there's a check that skips the dialog if the server
binary exists (is executable), which never passes. It seems to have been
copied from an old version (4.1) that had the logic in the metapackage
mysql-server (Debian bug #307473).
Checking the file shouldn't be needed any longer.
** Affects: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu)
