Hi,

During the Ubuntu Server Team meeting I brought up the agenda item of 
upgrading mysql 5.1 in main to mysql 5.5. There are several reasons to 
do this:

* Its faster compared to mysql 5.1 (although I dont have any benchmarks)
* There are more bug fixes for mysql 5.5.
* Amazon is using it on the cloud images.
* Packages are nearly ready to be uploaded.
* Easier to maintain going forward.

Thoughts?
