You will most likely receive cryptic, unhelpful dpkg errors.

If this is the case, try the command below.

sudo aptitude purge mysql-common mysql-client mysql-server && sudo aptitude install mysql-server-4.1 mysql-client-4.1

This should purge whatever is left of the MySQL 5.x installation, and then install the MySQL 4.x version. If this fails, proceed to bang head against nearest hard object.
