No matter how different apt-get and aptitude are, it's reasonable to
expect that, if there's a candidate for upgrading mysql-common, that
both "apt-get upgrade" and "aptitude safe-upgrade" will install it;
and if one of them wouldn't install them, it would be apt-get because,
unlike "apt-get upgrade", "aptitude safe-upgrade" is liberal and will
install new packages to satisfy dependencies.
It would've been interesting to see the output of "apt-cache policy
mysql-common" and "aptitude search -F '%c%a%M %p %v %V' mysql-common"
to see whether the aptitude search would have shown a different value
for "%v" and "%V".
