I'm sorry, I was too tired to think of including useful info yesterday ;)

I was talking about the first case: The file

   /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf

is deleted upon reinstallation of the package mysql-server-5.0 as of
version 5.0.32-7etch1.

The whole file disappears, not just the setting within it, or something
like that.

The other files (debian-start, debian.cnf and my.cnf) are untouched.
