Well what does mysql_install_db do exactly?
Certainly hitting control-c rebooting to 2.6 and having dpkg finish the
configuration seems to have worked. Of course given I didn't have data
in mysql before, it is hard to say if an upgrade would have worked
perfectly.

None that I know of. You can depend on a package being installed, but
you can't depend on a certain kernel beign installed and running.
