Talking with Andrea on irc he told to us (Ionut, me and the rest who were present) that he would like to wait until 5.5.9 is out.
AFAIK 5.5.9 haven't setted a release day yet, so can we move this and then wait for the 5.5.9?, I think doing this rebuild and wait for 5.5.9 without know if it will be released on two months or so is too much, if somebody know when will be the release date please tell us and can we planify then, but now mysql rebuild is stucked on [testing]. Yes, I'd like to wait until 5.5.9, but I understand that we don't know when MySQL devs will release it.
I just added two patches to our MySQL in [testing], I didn't rebuild it so you can add something else or write a better post_install message. :)
I vote for move this to [extra] I can take the responsability if it's needed to check bugs of mysql package until Andrea is back from exams Thank you. If you take the responsability I vote +1 for the move and I'll try to be present as much as I can (will be hard).
Another note Angel: maybe in the announcement you should write that example, archive, blackhole and federated engine are now disabled.

Ok here is the draft: Title: MySQL 5.5 update Hi people, MySQL 5.5 (5.5.8) is on [extra] . This time we disabled Archive, Blackhole and Federated engine support. After doing -Syu please do: /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart && mysql_upgrade Please feel free to add or remove words, or rephrase the announce.

Ok here is the draft:
Title: MySQL 5.5 update
Hi people, MySQL 5.5 (5.5.8) is on [extra] . This time we disabled Archive, Blackhole and Federated engine support. 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 (ed: is there a why here? we should tell them if so).
After doing -Syu please do:
After upgrading the MySQL package and restarting the database, you will need to run `mysql_upgrade` to ensure your tables are up to date and compatible with MySQL 5.5.
/etc/rc.d/mysqld restart && mysql_upgrade
Please feel free to add or remove words, or rephrase the announce.
Have fun
s/on/in/, a bit more full sentence-y, and attempting to provide people with the why and not just blind commands to run. -Dan
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. 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.

I would add: "A backup of your databases before the upgrade is recommended."
