Package: mysql-server-5.1

On a fresh install, using a password with a " in it causes this failure:

ERROR: 1064  You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '""") WHERE user='root'' at line 1

Obviously a lack of escaping somewhere.
