Hey, got an odd issue here. When installing packages, nothing gets installed into /etc/init.d anymore.
For example, here's the last part of the output after doing "emerge mysql"...
>>> Installing (1 of 2) dev-db/mysql-5.1.61
* checking 338 files for package collisions
>>> Merging dev-db/mysql-5.1.61 to /

that is normal behavior.
/etc/ and subdir thereof are protected against overwriting from portage. in order to get a new config file merged use etc-update or dispatch-conf.

what are your USE for mysql?
If you have USE="minimal", for example, there will be no init script, as only the client libraries and their relevant pieces will be installed; if there is no daemon, there's no need for the init script
USE="minimal" will have similar effects on other packages

| Oh, yes, of course. But dispatch-conf reports nothing to update. And usually, regardless of etc-update/dispatch-conf, files are installed into /etc/init.d by default, especially if they do not previously exist. |

In other words, the following command yields no files installed by mysql which are waiting to be updated...
find /etc -iname ´._cfg????_*´ |

I may be mistaken, but I believe that portage does not bother you unless the new and old config files are different.

if the question is "why does etc-update show me nothing", then yeah...if there isnt any change, it's not going to be clobbered.
why those old files are left hanging around? I havent a clue.

sorry - i somehow misread the first question.
the initscripts for mysql are not part of dev-db/mysql or dev-db/mariadb respectively, but are in dev-db/mysql-init-scripts.

The 'emerge' man page states:
In addition to protecting overwritten files, Portage will not delete
any files from a protected directory when a package is unmerged. While
this may be a little bit untidy, it does prevent potentially valuable
config files from being deleted, which is of paramount importance. |
