Please CC me on reply, since I am not subscribed to the list.
Hello,
just recently I was faced with a non-booting remote box running Debian
6.0 (Squeeze). Lacking access to any kind of console, I was quite
clueless why it wouldn´t come up after what should have been a routine
reboot. I have a
stable, is not that big an effort for a gain in
consistency. I am not familiar with maintaining packages, so if I am
underestimating I stand corrected.
Thanks for your time and effort!

This is an empty transitional package and can safely be removed.
Tag: devel::lang:sql, interface::daemon, network::server, protocol::db:mysql,
role::program, special::obsolete, works-with::db
So there is the answer, why you got 5.0 instead of 4.1.
