Unforunately this is not down to MySQL packaging in Ubuntu at all. It is fundamentally how Debian packaging works, which for historical reasons assumes that all packages installed on the system come from one source (the distribution). Adding third party apt sources is fundamentally a hack (albeit something that many people do) and relies on the third party repositories to remain compatible with the distribution. Ubuntu is working on solving this problem by providing a direct trusted channel from vendors to users that does not collide with the deb namespace.
