Finally, I got it working. Reinstalled all mysql-packages (yes, all), postinst still failed. I then ran mysql_install_db after I manually created the /var/lib/mysql/mysql with perm mysql.mysql. THEN I was able to run mysql again (puhh). Oh, and before that, I had to comment skip-network in /etc/mysql/my.conf.
