Last weekend I updated the Debian package of MySQL to 5.0.67, the latest Community Edition release. It was not uploaded into the Debian archive, but is available from my home directory on gluck (amd64 only at the moment). The next Debian release lenny is frozen already, which means no newer upstream releases get accepted into testing before lenny is released, hence lenny definitely gets shipped with MySQL 5.0.51a. We will not see MySQL 5.0.67 or 5.1 in lenny, but we will continue providing backports of newer MySQL releases.
Our current primary goal regarding the MySQL packages in Debian is to get 5.0.51a in shape for lenny, so please do not send us mails asking about MySQL 5.1 or MySQL Cluster. When lenny got released we will upload MySQL 5.0.67 (or any newer community release) to unstable, and will then take care of MySQL 5.1 and MySQL Cluster.
