Forgot about that. The lo interface was indeed down.
Anyway purging anything related to mysql and reinstalling libmysql* and then
the server did the trick.
Maybe install script should take care of probing lo interface status so that
install doesn't fail ?
I guess this can be close as not-a-bug

Can you make sure that the loopback interface is setup correctly ?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Could you check the content of /var/log/daemon.log during
the first installation ? It should contain more messages about the first
start failure.
** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu)
Status: New =
# dpkg -P mysql-server-5.0
leaves behind the /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
Is that intended ?

purge and trying to reinstall give me this :
Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.45-1ubuntu3) ...
