i didnt have 5.0 installed but had tables left over from that version when installing 5.1. i'm not sure what 5.0 version the tables were from though, i think it was probably the one on intrepid release. when 5.1 didnt complete postinst properly i tried purging 5.1, installing jaunty's 5.0 and upgrading to 5.1 but this didnt help. my post above was from this stage. i ended up purging the old tables and reinstalling 5.1 with no problems. i havent managed to recreate the problem installing 5.0 from jaunty, creating a few tables and upgrading to 5.1
