Please don't, it's broken. Have you actually build tested it?

I have fixes/reversions in the pipeline. I should have them in git in
the next few hours.

However, based on experience from Ubuntu, I wonder if I should fix
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1447944 before we upload, in order to break
fewer users?

In addition to that, any opinion on having a maintainer script disable
the mysql service somehow if updating between releases and the
maintainer script can detect that local configuration changes mean that
mysqld cannot start, rather than failing the maintainer script and thus
failing the upgrade? It seems to me that this would make for a better
user experience. We can explain what happened in a critical debconf
prompt, but at least this way it won't break the user's system (only
the mysqld service).

Something like creating /etc/mysql/my.cnf.migrated.disabled in this case
(when my.cnf was previously modified and thus my.cnf.migrated is
created) and if that file exists then the service can avoid starting
mysqld.
