MySQL 5.1.53 packages for Debian 5.0 « Lenny » are now available on Dotdeb in amd64/i386 flavours. Please note that they’re available as preview for Squeeze too.
This maintainance release fixes many bugs and security issues. Upgrading is strongly recommended after having read the Changelogs here and here.
