The software is not available within Debian, but that should not be
relevant as I've provided simple and clear steps to reproduce in my
initial bug report
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=855244#5).

The problem is that if you install *just* libmariadbclient-dev (but
NOT default-libmysqlclient-dev + libmariadbclient-dev-compat) then
`pkg-config --libs mariadb` as well as `mysql_config --libs` return
invalid data (as present and hardcoded in
/usr/share/pkgconfig/mariadb.pc + /usr/bin/mysql_config), as stated
and demoed in my initial bug report.
