Yes, please fix the situation in unstable/testing. It looks like 10.6 
isn't migrating because your reverse depends need fixing first (did you 
report that to the maintainers?); having 10.6 migrate would ease the 
situation a bit because then we can just remove 10.5. I think it would 
be good if you stop building the non-versioned packages from the 
versioned source package (like most ecosystems do) and build those in a 
separate package (mariadb-defaults or sum such).
