Bug Description
mysql-server-5.0 (at least) does not prompt the user to update its conffiles, even though they are listed in /var/lib/
1. dpkg --purge mysql-server-5.0
2. apt-get install mysql-server-
3. update /etc/mysql/
4. apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
mysql-server-5.0 upgrades without updating the file with no confirmation, even though the md5sum is different for /etc/mysql/
One ramification of this is that dapper-hardy upgrades will likely be hugely broken as the conffiles won't get upgraded.

It seems to work fine here. Steps i take:
1) pbuilder-gutsy login
2) apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
3) echo "# test test est" >> /etc/mysql/
4) change sources.list from gutsy to hardy
5) apt-get update ; apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
And on the bottom of debian-start i see "#test test test"
