Potentially yes.

For context, current
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/control?ref_type=heads#L994-1007
says

Package: mariadb-plugin-provider-bzip2
Architecture: any
Depends:
 mariadb-server (>= 1:10.11.1-1),
 ${misc:Depends},
 ${shlibs:Depends},

For many other plugins we have
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/merge_requests/114
pending, which makes many plugins:

Depends:
...
mariadb-server-core (= ${server:Version}),
${misc:Depends},
${shlibs:Depends},
