Adding mysql55-server as a subport has the convenience of keeping the
version in sync with mysql55. Like most of the *-server ports the
mysql55-server will rarely if ever require updating.

Should I make the mysql55-server port an independent port and make
the version a very different number than the mysql55 version, a date string
for example?

My reason for keeping the mysql55 and mysql55-server versions in sync is
to avoid confusion. Making the version very different may attain the same
result.
