Yes, buster->testing seems to work. (Sven tested that on Friday and told me it works)

However, I thought you plan to have an update for the next bullseye point
release, because currently buster->bullseye update is broken, and this is what
this bug report is all about.

This is also why I tried only to have updated mariadb packages in the test, as
I thought you meant we should test if this package will fix the dist-upgrade
issue.  I guess you'd agree that asking our users to upgrade severs to testing
would not be an acceptable solution...

I understand your message that galera will also needed an
stable-proposed-update upload.. Wont find time to test this path, though
