The reason is this: Debian, which Ubuntu most probably borrows these
packages from, has a distro-specific framework to carry out database
reconfigurations in a centralized manner, so that you have uniform
experience when it comes to database management no matter which
software you're dealing with and which database backend you have
decided to use for it. This does also apply to package upgrades which
often require upgrading database schemas.
So, back to the question: to recreate the database just run
# dpkg-reconfigure -plow bacula-director-mysql
and follow the questions it asks.
You can also drop the database by hand using something like
# echo 'drop database bacula' \
| mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Then you'll be able to create it by reconfiguring the
bacula-director-mysql package as described above.

Unfortunately, I've no idea regarding your problem with Webmin.
Probably you would be better off contacting Webmin team as I see
there's no Webmin officially packaged for Debian (and no package in
Ubuntu archives as well) so hence it's, strictly speaking, not a bug.
