I can't tell you the answer to that because aptitude does not make that decision; the mysql package does. In my past experience, database servers leave the database on the system (some of them ask and default to keeping it). But I'm not a database expert and I know particularly little about mysql. If you're really worried, I'd suggest taking a test machine, installing mysql 5.0 and storing some data in it, then upgrading to 5.1 and seeing whether the data is kept.
