I've contemplated that, but neither Debian nor Ubuntu upgrade ever
upgrade version numbers in a stable release, so it could only happen if
we released before the distro did, and they ended up shipping a newer
version.

Status in OurDelta - Builds for MySQL: New

Bug description:
It is probably not the best to use the same package name as the upstream distro's as this could cause issues if their version number were to increase above the our delta version. It would be better to use a name like mysql-server-ourdelta-5.0 and similar names for all the other packages to avoid any issues. Then use the Provides field in the control file to make it compatible with the existing dependancy name.
