Title:
  Users are never given option to remove data files

Status in mysql-5.7 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in mysql-5.7 source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When purging the server package, the user should be given the option
  to remove data files. This is especially important if switching
  between MySQL and MariaDB, as they are not compatible, so not cleaning
  up after one is likely to make installation of the other fail.

  However, the dialogue for this is never shown.

  The cause is that there's a check that skips the dialog if the server
  binary exists (is executable), which never passes. It seems to have
  been copied from an old version (4.1) that had the logic in the
  metapackage mysql-server (Debian bug #307473).

  Checking the file shouldn't be needed any longer.
