FWIW, I can't speak to sid, but it certainly appears to be in the 
bookworm package as reported:

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

Codename:	bookworm

# apt policy mariadb-server

# rm -rf tmp

# dpkg-deb -R mariadb-server_1%3a10.11.4-1~deb12u1_amd64.deb tmp

# grep -r '^basedir' tmp
tmp/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf:basedir      = /usr

(I removed some whitespace from the last line to stop wrapping, but 
otherwise the output is simply copy/pasted).

I hope that helps...

Regards,
Jeremy
