What if you manually run 'mysql -u debian-sys-maint -p' and use the
password in that file?

 - This connects fine to the database

Have you changed the mysql.users table so that debian-sys-maint
userpassword is no longer same as in the config file?

 - Not as far as I know (I haven't, but I'm not the only admin, but I
can't vouch for my colleagues)

I reconnected as the root user and tried:

> select * from mysql.users where user='debian-sys-maint' ;

I got:

ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'mysql.users' doesn't exist
