New draft:
MySQL 5.5 is now in [extra]. This is a major version upgrade from the 5.1 editions previously in the repositories. Archive, Blackhole, and Federated engine support are no longer included in this package, since is not used heavily.
I would add: "A backup of your databases before the upgrade is recommended."
After upgrading the MySQL package and restarting the database, you will need to run `mysql_upgrade` to ensure your tables, views and store procedures are up to date and compatible with MySQL 5.5.
End of draft:
Btw, I think Andrea removed the support for Archive, Blackhole and Federated engine for the same reasons which removed partition tables (which I enabled back again) Yes, and you forgot the Examples engine too.
