You might want to look at the MySQL error log - should give you something more meaningful than the system log. Note sure of the location of this in a default Debian installation as I always use my own highly customised LAMP stack. Look in the MySQL data directory (wherever that might be - /var/lib/mysql is MySQL AB's own default) and have a look in the log file there which will be based on your host name with a .err suffix. The .err file has always got me out of trouble before. Hope this helps.
