Sorry for the very late response, I'm just trying to catch up; we do install
mysql servers using FAI, but our setup is pretty simple, to be honest. All we do
is:

- We have files/etc/mysql/debian.cnf/DB (with DB being the class used for the
  mysql servers) to fix Debian admin passwords
- An additional script that is meant to be run upon the first is install which
  sets the root password simply using $ROOTCMD mysqladmin -u root password XXX
  and loads some data, sets privileges, prepares replication etc. using SQL
  commands.

HTH,
Michael
