New The funny thing is...
... I thought when I uninstalled phpmyadmin and then uninstalled mysql it would nuke all my existing databases (so I backed them up first!)

But when I reinstalled both I found that not only were the databases still intact, but all my users were still there as well -- only without the odd permissions problems!

All I had to do was give the root login a password.

New That is a setup question it asks you...
Debconf specifically asks if you want it to remove all data if you remove and purge the config. Unfortunately, it is a question at *INSTALLATION* and not at removal... DUH!
