It's not clear to me what the upgrade path for Galera would be given the
fact that both galera-3 and galera-4 packages exists in Bullseye. Should
a dist-upgrade upgrade galera-3 to galera-4 or does the user explicitly
have to ask for galera-4?

Also, removing the dependency to galera resolves the fact that
mariadb-server-10.3 is removed on a dist-upgrade (galera-3 is not
removed and mariadb-server-10.3 is upgraded to mariadb-server-10.5). So
if the deadline to upload mariadb is short (you spoke about tomorrow), I
find this solution valid until we find also a solution for Galera of
course...

I have just created a WIP PR for that:
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/1829

You mean:
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/b9fee60871264ea56a5582ca7a436aabdabea6fc

Ok but I have no idea how this should be handled then. See my previous
comment and https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/galera-3 and
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/galera-4.
