I've tried again by removing completely the mysql-server and mysql-server-core packages. Next try leaved me see the following at console : ERROR: 1146 Table "mysql.user" doesn't exist
I think the order of processing packages and their scripts is absolutely relevant, maybe server expected for a core which wasn't really established.
