Hello!

The current plan is to ship MariaDB 5.5.

The next version of MariaDB, numbered 10.0, has been in the NEW queue
for over 4 months:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/mariadb-10.0_10.0.10-1.html

If that queue would move any faster there would be an option to ship
10.0. Is there anything that could be done?

Shipping 5.5 isn't anyway a bad option. Upstream is most likely to
publish security releases for 5.5 for many years still, and it is easy
(and well proven) for users to upgrade from current MySQL 5.5 to
MariaDB 5.5. Ubuntu 14.04 has shipped MariaDB 5.5 in the Ubuntu
universe repos.

However, newer is always newer, so shipping MariaDB 10.0 would be nice
if we have time to finalize it after it comes out from the NEW queue..
