I plan to change the status of this bug to Won't Fix and here is the explanation for this decision. We can theoretically fix this issue in mysql package. In the postrm handler we need to check if this problematic symlink exists and remove it before passing control to deb- systemd-helper. I don't think this is reasonable decision though. If we put this code into the package we'd be required to leave it there forever (users may upgrade from buggy ubuntu4 to ubuntu5-6-7-8 and then make decision to remove the package). Keeping it there forever is bad because we're doing systemd's and deb-systemd-helper's work by managing symlinks inside /etc/systemd/system/ and this fact may lead to unpredictable issues in the future. Workaround (see above) is pretty straightforward and shouldn't create any issues for vivid users.
