I expect Niels will continue aging more packages from 10 to 5.

percona-xtrabackup was not in testing before the bts hickup end of
December, it should be safe to have this autoremoved again

So that only leaves python-testing.mysqld and ruby-dataobjects-mysql
unfixed, both seem to be instances of
  #851131: mysql_install_db creates unusable root user
which needs help from the mariadb maintainers.
