I'm trying to find again some of the failures I encountered in my
piuparts instance... (they were all solved by testing with the patched
mariadb-10.5 + galera-4 packages)

You could try installing in buster default-mysql-server + roundcube-core
(still looking for "easier" ones)

Upgrading that to buster yields for me
(even without --install-recommends)

...
   The following packages will be REMOVED:
     ***default-mysql-server*** libapache2-mod-php7.3 mariadb-client-10.3
     mariadb-client-core-10.3 mariadb-server-10.3 php7.3-cli php7.3-common
     php7.3-intl php7.3-json php7.3-mbstring php7.3-mysql php7.3-opcache
     php7.3-readline php7.3-xml
   The following NEW packages will be installed:
     gcc-10-base libapache2-mod-php7.4 libapt-pkg6.0 libbpf0 libcrypt1 libffi7
     libgcc-s1 libhogweed6 libicu67 liblua5.3-0 libmariadb3 libmd0 libnettle8
     libnsl2 libonig5 libperl5.32 libreadline8 libtirpc-common libtirpc3
     libxxhash0 logsave mailcap mariadb-client mariadb-client-10.5
     mariadb-client-core-10.5 media-types perl-modules-5.32 php7.4-cli
     php7.4-common php7.4-intl php7.4-json php7.4-mbstring php7.4-mysql
     php7.4-opcache php7.4-readline php7.4-xml
