[debian-mysql] Bug#797210: Bug#797210: mariadb-10.0: mariadb-server does not ship a debconf set for creating a adminitrative user (like mysql-server do)

[Otto Kekäläinen]

MariaDB uses socket authentication in Debian unstable. That is an
important feature that increases security and makes administration
easier. In the majority of cases you don't need or want to make a root
user, only user accounts that have limited and intended access to the
database.

I don't know what README.Debian you refer to. The mariadb-10.0 does
not have any such file.

I will close this bug report as invalid, because what you report about
is not a bug, maybe just a misunderstanding.

Please feel free to contribute with documentation, there could maybe
be a README.Debian file in the package that explains something about
how authentication works.
