Depending on your answer to "postrm_remove_databases", this
has deleted all your data or "only" destroyed your MySQL
installation.
BTW1: The same can happen to mysql-server-4.1 if the user had
removed but not purged mysql-server from woody some years
ago and purges it now.
BTW2: This is a nice example for the class of data loss bugs
testing cannot catch because it might take some time
until the first usre falls into this trap.
