I disagree. Getting newer packages like PHP5 from alternate sources
(dotdeb, backports.org, etc) is basically the same process as installing
the "official" ones from a Debian/Ubuntu repository --

    apt-get install php5

This should stay named 'mysql-server-5.0' and like and you should just
tag the version with 'ourdelta' or similar?

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.
