[debian-mysql] Bug#988089: Bug#988089: Bug#988089: mariadb-server: MariaDB uninstalled on dist-upgrade Debian 10 -> 11

[Faustin Lammler]

Hi!
I am in favour of removing galera-4 from Depends and as suggested by
Olaf make it only a suggestion (Suggests), I am not sure if it's even
necessary (after all, MariaDB standalone server and Galera cluster are
two very different setup).

The salsa CI is still green when doing so:
https://salsa.debian.org/faust/mariadb-10.5/-/pipelines/254990

Plus, even if I can't reproduce this dist-upgrade problem on the Salsa
CI, on my personal drone CI, doing so also resolve the problem from an
upstream build with
https://github.com/fauust/mariadb-server/tree/fix-dist-upgrade whereas
the problem exists on the 10.5 branch.

Finally, galera-4 is not a dependency on RPM:
| docker run fedora:latest bash -c "yum update -y && yum install mariadb-server -y && rpm -qa | egrep 'mariadb|galera'"

I have asked on Zulip if there is any reason of this dependency that I
could have missed.

Cheers!
