[Test Case]
1. install mysql-server
2. make sure it is running (service mysql start)
3. mysql -uroot -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error'"
    - a broken mysql-server will show a blank answer
    - fixed package will show '/var/log/mysql/error.log'

[Regression Potential]
Very low, as its just a config file change. People may not have been expecting this file to be written though.

------------

The errors for mysqld in 5.1 packages used to be written to /var/log/mysql/error.log, but that change was dropped from my.cnf in the transition to 5.5.

This should be restored so the logs can be written properly.
