The problem was that the old libdbd-mariadb-perl didn't work with the new
mariadb-10.3, so without a Breaks relationship in mariadb-10.3, there was an
autopkgtests regression that was blocking the mariadb-10.3 migration. Yes, a
Breaks could have been added, but that would have caused extra delays and I
wanted to avoid that.
