Public bug reported:
the postinst has a line that checks to see if there is a database
installed by doing "ls -A" on the state directory (/var/lib/mysql). If
you have this as a separate filesystem you are likely to have a
lost+found directory here. The postinst then doesn't setup the new DB
correctly and the install fails.
I'm not sure why there's an ls here, rather then for example checking
for a "mysql" database directory?
