As of last night's britney run:

$ dak ls mysql-5.1
 mysql-5.1 |   5.1.49-3 |        stable | source
 mysql-5.1 |   5.1.62-1 |      unstable | source

mysql-5.1 is still in unstable and a few packages there still depend on
it or libmysqlcient16, but in terms of getting mysql-5.5 to be part of
the wheezy release, I think we can call this transition done; thanks for
your help in getting there.
