Hello,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The original decision to deal with
incompatibility between mariadb-server and mysql-server was to keep
mysql-8.0 in unstable only. 

Since #853008 does still affect unstable users though, I agree it is
best to actually fix it. I have created a pull request for the pre-inst
and post-rm files to avoid deleting any MariaDB files here -
 https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mysql/-/merge_requests/75

I will get feedback on it then merge it as soon as possible.
