is supposed to fix the original request:

at first, this bug was origin opened against mysql-server-5.1 if I
remember correctly and I cloned this into mariadb-server.

Usual it maybe common to run just one instance provided by
mysqld_safe. Beside that if you want to have more instances running
you might switch over mysqld_multi.
Anyway you can indeed have running mysqld_safe and mysqld_multi
beside, but this will be much more unusual then running mysqld_multi
standalone itself.

As mysqld_multi can be used in many different scenarios and it is
likely more uncommon than mysqld_safe it doesn`t make sense to provide
a mysqld_multi init script on default. Instead it`s provided a working
example script which can be used by the users itself to setup an
uncommon setup. The "Provides:"-header might needed to be adjusted
anyway, for example if you want to REPLACE the default mysql initscript.
So providing a working example script is a safe way to make life
easier for our users.

Don`t get me wrong, it would be very good to have those, but there are
things (not excluding) to consider:

* everybody (you included) are free to provide patches, as it seems
you have looked into it, why not providing one?
* I`m not convinced if those issues you claimed, should be depend on
each other, maybe you should clone the bug again just for the
documentation issue

Cheers, Jan.
P.S. I`m actually not involved into any mysql/mariadb packaging, so
I`m not speaking for any of those teams.
