Trusty doesn't have systemd, but upstart. There the steps were:
- disable updates and security in /etc/apt/sources.list
- install mysql-server-5.5
- use mysql command line to connect and create a test database
- stop mysql: stop mysql
- disable mysql: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/mysql.override
- reboot to confirm mysql won't start automatically (yes)
- re-enable updates and security in sources.list
- apt dist-upgrade
It worked just fine.
For now, this bug is confirmed in xenial only.

Title:
If apt-get upgrade is run on mysql server when the server is disabled,
the upgrade fails.
Status in mysql-5.7 package in Ubuntu:

Status in mysql-5.7 source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
Since I only use the mysql server for development, I tend to keep the server
disabled with systemctl. If mysql server is upgraded while the service is
disabled, apt-get fails. To remedy this, I must run "systemctl enable mysqld"
before "apt-get upgrade". Since I found a work around, it isn't a big deal, but
a less experienced user may have trouble diagnosing this. Possible solutions
are:
1) Better error message
2) If the server must be running for upgrade, the upgrade could start it.
Maybe prompting first.
