The init script checks for mysqld_safe since 5.1.49-2, which is part of
the mysql-server-5.1 package.

Could you please check if /etc/init.d/mysql checks for mysqld_safe in
line 20 on your system?

Did you modify the init-script in the past? The init scripts are treated
as configuration files, so they will not get overwritten automatically
when upgrading the package and the init script was manually edited in
the past.

Does a file called /etc/init.d/mysql.dpkg-dist exist on your system?
