Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Unfortunately, we have to ship _some_ default, even if it is not the most appropriate in all cases. I think it's most appropriate to ship the default that upstream consider best, and for 5.6 it is 128 MB. This does mean that sysadmin intervention will be required to make mysql-server-5.6 work on a t1.micro instance, but I don't see any reasonable way around this (lowering innodb_buffer_pool_size would harm performance by default on more common mysql-server-5.6 deployments, AIUI).

Having said that, I just noticed that you got a dpkg install error, which I don't think should happen. We need to look into failing to start the daemon more gracefully.
