Jacub: was your intention to say that these plugins should be
installed at paths like?
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mariadb/plugin/dialog.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mariadb/plugin/dialog.so

The paths /usr/lib32|64 are deprecated, right?

If I've understood the situation correctly, we now have in the cmake
build options the line "-DINSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)"
and all that is needed is a patch for the upstream sources to install
dialog.so and password.so into LIBDIR/mariadb/ (+ respective change in
the mariadb-server-5.5.install file).
