This bug was fixed in the package mysql-5.7 - 5.7.15-0ubuntu2

---------------
mysql-5.7 (5.7.15-0ubuntu2) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Add working dir to perl lib path for dep8 upstream.
    New versions of perl will no longer automatically include working dir in
    the path. This was causing the mtr suite to fail to start.
  * Change mysql-testsuite dependency from python to libjson-perl.
    Tests written in python were rewritten in perl, so testsuite no longer
    depends on python, but tests fail if libjson-perl is missing.
  * Build with DWITH_LZ4=system
    If the flag is not set the package will be built with a bundled liblz4
    instead of the one provided by the liblz4-dev build-dep.
  * Add support for custom datadir to systemd service (LP: #1574782)
    The service was reporting errors if no database was found in /var/lib/mysql
    It will now check the path specified in the config
  * Fix support for soft-link datadir (LP: #1474212)
    Upgrading more than once when datadir is soft-link was causing errors
  * Escape special characters in password (LP: #1598992)
    The password string was not escaped, causing SQL errors if certain special
    characters such as apostrophes were included.
  * Removed always-false check on purge in postrm (LP: #1602945)
    Users were never seeing the query to remove data on a package purge

Title:
  Users are never given option to remove data files

Status in mysql-5.7 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
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.
