Michael,
Okay so the following steps reproduce the issue.
On machine A:
1.) install mysql-server
2.) Edit the bind-address field in /etc/mysql/my.cnf so that machine B
can connect.
3.) Bounce the server.
4.) Set up a user that could be used from machine B.
On machine B:
1.) Make sure that no server is installed and no /etc/mysql/ directory
present
2.) Install mysql-client
3.) Try to connect to the MySQL server on A using the account created
for that purpose.
The solution should be to have a file like /etc/mysql/conf.d/.keepme in
mysql-common.
