This is exactly what I did a few months ago, for the same reason. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.backports.org/debian woody mysql-dfsg Works like a charm. FYI, I also added: deb http://www.backports.org/debian woody spamassassin Becoming a firm believer that you CAN have it all, stability and the latest packages :) There are other places to get backports, BTW. This one works for me.
