[debian-mysql] Bug#853008: mysql-server-5.7: purge could delete mariadb-server files with inadequate warning

[Olaf van der Spek]

Hi,

> Anyone else have any good ideas on how to handle this?

I do. The solution is quite simple: do not, ever, remove user data / databases.

It makes everything so much simpler, both on the user side and on the
dev side. No weird questions when installing, no databases gone by
accident..
