The mysql-server package is meant to depend on the current "best" mysql server as determined by the Debian maintainers. In my opinion the maintainer scripts of e.g. mysql-server-5.0 should handle the upgrades properly, so the mysql-server (the not-quite-meta-package) should really just be a proper meta-package. I'll discuss it with the Debian people later today. They must have had some sort of reason for creating the package like that in the first place.
