MySQL 3.22 --> 3.23 on Potato

[Jason Harris <jharris@esd.wa.gov>]

   I am a newbie to package management in Debian;  More and more I have 
needed to upgrade MySQL from 3.22 to 3.23 for some production systems.   
This comes from support from everyone else who does not use Debian.   
I've enjoyed the safety and stability of Debian stable for a long while 
and I plan to continue doing so.    So, what do you think would be the 
safest way of upgrading my mysql ?  Leave 3.22 in apt, shut off mysql 
engine and over write with compiled sources ?  Overwrite with 
precompiled binaries ?  Remove from apt then do the above ?  If I remove 
from apt, then I should remove all dependencies as well, or keep them in 
and hope that they work when the upgrade is make installed ?
