I believe this was discussed at the time with MySQL upstream. Although
the 5.5 to 5.7 upgrade isn't an officially supported upgrade path by
upstream, I think when we discussed it we concluded that it would be
fine for moving a default installation of MySQL 5.5 as packaged in 14.04
on to 16.04.

I don't think we can treat this as a bug unless you can demonstrate a
specific case that doesn't work. If you can provide a broken case, we
can consider what needs doing about it then. Until then, I don't think
we can expect to make any progress on a hypothetical problem.

** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
