But the dist-upgrade of mysql-server-5.0 asked me a question:
Do you want to support connections from hosts running "Sarge" or older?
I may be wrong but from what I remember (I upgraded from Sarge even
before Etch became stable) it's the old_passwords=1 line in your my.cnf.
"--old-passwords
Force the server to generate short (pre-4.1) password hashes for new
passwords. This is useful for compatibility when the server must
support older client programs."
Some more info:

Basically, if you have the shorted passwords in your wordpress database,
you'll need old_passwords to be on. If not, you can ignore this.
Disclaimer: this may, of course, have absolutely nothing to do with the
dist-upgrade question you got :)
