I am happy to do these changes for you in the Debian package, but I
wasn't quite able to follow what script do you mean is the
replacement?

Currently the Debian package ships mariadb_config
(libmariadb-dev.install:usr/bin/mariadb_config, and mysql_config is a
symlink to it). I looking at build products in mariadb-10.3 I don't
see that alternative scripts. What is the name/path?
