Thank you for taking the time to report this.

I believe I broke the init script in the commit
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git/commit/?id=7afa3d0dc6fef794528bc7a06ad2244b8eb3b315
I still think it is a good thing not to output extra stuff during
start/stop, so instead of reverting the change I'll do one of the
things you suggested to fix it.
