Dear Otto, et al,

Thank you for your comments!

Untested patch for the "mysql.user table already exists!" error is attached.

Regarding the "mariadb.service changed on disk" warning,
I think it should be handled by dh_installsystemd.
This part of the rules file seems correct, but I am no expert:
   212    # Define name used for service, and install mariadb.service
on Linux only
   213    override_dh_installsystemd:
   214    ifneq (,$(filter linux,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS)))
   215        dh_installsystemd -pmariadb-server mariadb.service
   216    endif

Thank you!
