The migration from unstable to testing checks (among other things) for
installability, so the dependency on mariadb 10.3 will prevent mysql-defaults
from migrating to testing before mariadb-10.3, even without this bug. If that
is the only reason for this bug, it is unnecessary.

Please note that the RC bugs and autopkgtest regressions for mariadb-10.3 and
mysql-defaults (and their rdeps) will prevent the migration to testing and
need to be fixed first.

Cheers,

Ivo
