Description:
The mysql-apt-config package has a confusing menu system, with two different "OK" choices, of which only one works. 

This doesn't work very well with automated processes for installing and updating packages (ansible, in my case). It also confuses human users.

How to repeat:
dpkg-reconfigure mysql-apt-config

Three choices in a menu:

MySQL Server & Cluster (Currently selected: mysql-8.4-lts)
MySQL Connectors (Currently selected: Enabled)
Ok

And then below, the standard confirmation button:

<Ok>

Selecting (with tab and enter) the standard confirmation button only sends you in an endless loop to a second page. You must select the "Ok" menu choice to actually get out of the menu

Suggested fix:
Remove the "Ok" menu choice. Change the <Ok> button to actually leave the menu
