Indeed. People seem to assume we claim this, but nobody in Debian has
claimed it as far as I know.

I believe that the release team's current position is that if a package
cannot be made to work against MariaDB, it cannot be in stretch. IIRC,
this came up with some packages a while ago (mysql-connector-c++?
mysql-workbench? I forget which) and that was the conclusion.
