Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

This is a fair point. But the problem is effectively fixed in the latest
release of Ubuntu where only mysql 5.6 is available. I don't expect
we'll be doing a release with two versions concurrently again. I also
don't think it's appropriate to change the package description the
release that is already out.

I'll mark this bug Fix Released to represent that it is fixed in the
latest release.

> metapackage depending on a conservative default version

Note that on 14.04 MySQL 5.6 is available in universe only, so for
example you won't get security updates with it unless updated packaging
is prepared, tested and contributed to the security team.

** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
