I can confirm this in Lucid amd64.
Apparently, we have different versions of mysql-server-core and mysql-common (wtf?) for amd64 and i386, and version dependencies for other packages of the complete mysql-server installation do not match for the amd64 versions.
see the errors reported by apt below:
