[debian-mysql] More contributors welcome to MariaDB packaging in Debian - easy task suggestion included

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello!

I put this and a few other easy tasks as issues in the Debian tracker
with severity 'wishlist' and prepended with the title 'TODO':
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mariadb-10.0#_0_6_4

Please feel free to pick any of the tasks if you want to help out. It
would be greatly appreciated.

I promise to review and reply quickly!
