i believe the bug in question was about an existing installation with a
password being upgraded in such a way that root could log in afterwards
without a password.

empty passwords are actually the *default* with mysql databases, though
in debian we've value-added some debconf-based password setting.  still,
if you don't see the questions or othewrise decline these questions the
default remains.
