The situation for MariaDB warranted documentation in the Release Notes:

https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues.html#mariadb-major-version-upgrades-only-work-reliably-after-a-clean-shutdown

Maybe we can reduce the amount of people running into the scenario where 
this is needed by giving sound upgrade instructions?

Is the upgrade handled by dbconfig-common? I recall that will at least 
dump the database before trying the upgrade and notify the user of that 
in case of failures.
