I just checked, mariadb-server-10.0.postrm and mysql-server-5.6.postrm
in Debian packaging git repos are identical.

Do you mean some packaging at Oracle that is not used in Debian yet?

By the way, where is to upstream Oracle repo for mysql development
nowadays? Have you already migrated to git? The repos
https://code.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/5.7 and
https://code.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/5.6 don't have any
recent commits.
