When using EBS snashots on EC2, debian-sys-maint is different on new servers, so it stuck forever.

Also init/mysql.conf use:
    exec /usr/sbin/mysqld

and I see error when running it like that:

100528 11:00:25 [ERROR] Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!
100528 11:00:25 [ERROR] Aborting
100528 11:00:25 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete

should'n it use mysqld_safe instead ?

This works for me:

....
exec /usr/bin/mysqld_safe

post-start script
    for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14; do
        /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=$HOME/debian.cnf ping && exec $HOME/debian-start
        sleep 1
    done
end script
