This seems to be a regression. It was working before, eg. here:

https://askmonty.org/buildbot/builders/kvm-deb-jaunty-x86/builds/29

This part of the output might point to the root cause:

ERROR: 1146 Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist

Re: mariadb-server-5.1 fails to install on Ubuntu Jaunty x86
Seems the problem is that fill_help_tables.sql is missing. This is the error message during install from
mysql_install_db:

I couldn't figure out how the fill_help_tables.sql file got lost though.
