I have the same bug when upgrading to mysql-server-5.6.

When /etc/mysql/debian-start outputs nothing, /etc/init.d/mysql exits with the 
exit code of [ -n "$output" ].

I have fixed it by replacing:
	        # Now start mysqlcheck or whatever the admin wants.
	        output=$(/etc/mysql/debian-start)
		[ -n "$output" ] && log_action_msg "$output"
With:
	        # Now start mysqlcheck or whatever the admin wants.
	        output=$(/etc/mysql/debian-start)
		if [ -n "$output" ] ; then 
			log_action_msg "$output"
		fi
