installing mysql-server fails because /etc/init.d/mysql-ndb does not exist

[Sohum]

On debian, installing mysql-server 5.0.87-d10-ourdelta-sail65 on a fresh install (i.e., not upgrading from mysql-server/stable) results in the following errors:

Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
insserv: Service mysql-ndb has to be enabled to start service mysql
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
 mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.0; however:
  Package mysql-server-5.0 is not configured yet.
  Package mysql-server-5.1 which provides mysql-server-5.0 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-server-5.0
 mysql-server

This is because /etc/init.d/mysql requires /etc/init.d/mysql-ndb (which requires /etc/init.d/mysql-ndb-mgm). (These scripts silently exit if ndb is not enabled.) The ourdelta-sail package does not include these scripts, and thus initial configuration fails. A workaround is to install the ourdelta-sail package as an upgrade from the stable package, as debian does not remove these services on upgrade.
