yes... but if i understand correctly then the problem is not with mysql
but instead with your system for applying upgrades. for example, if
we were to create an /etc/default/mysql with the options you request,
and you change them, then we at a later point change the defaults in
the file, you'll have the same problem as before.
instead, you should possibly file a bug against cron-apt, or
maybe apt/dpkg if there is not a way to do what you want.
