Quoth the README.Debian (/usr/share/doc/mysql-server):
* NETWORKING:
=============
For security reasons, the Debian package has enabled the
skip-networking option in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. Comment it out and
restart the server to enable connections on tcp port 3306. Check
with "netstat -tlnp" if it's listening.
