[debian-mysql] Bug#480940: mysql-common: README.Debian refers to non-existent file

Package: mysql-common
Version: 5.0.51a-5
Severity: minor

README.Debian says 

If you change the password of the root user (which is strongly recommended)
you have to create a personal mysql config file in order to let cron run
the /etc/cron.daily script without asking you for the password.

As far as I can tell, there is no such script.  The change logs seem
to indicate it was deleted.  It would be helpful to update the information.

I arrived here because I was trying to figure out where the messages
about corrupt tables were coming from (I think bug 478256 is the
culprit)--that is, what process was running them against which tables.
So I was looking for a cron.daily job.
