MySQL 4.0.18 and 4.0.20 are present in the testing and unstable branches of
the distribution, respectively. The version of MySQL in stable is fairly
outdated because the stable distribution was released some 2 years ago.
Debian releases are intended to be rock-solid stable and not change very
often (so as to provide a stable development target).
Note also that Apache 2 and PHP 4.3 aren't in the stable distribution,
either, so "Woody" (the codename of the current stable release) isn't going
to be much use to you at all. However, the intention is to release Sarge
(the codename for the current release candidate) as the new stable release
in the next few months. In the meantime, you can target your development at
Sarge, and be sure that you'll have a brand new stable release to target in
the near future.
