Yes, that took care of _WSREP_START_POSITION, but not the original
MYSQLD_OPTS and _WSREP_NEW_CLUSTER.

On a testing -> unstable system:

$ sudo apt install mariadb-server=1:11.8.5-1
...

$ journalctl -u mariadb -p 4 --no-pager
Nov 30 01:29:00 debian (mariadbd)[3411]: mariadb.service: Referenced
but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string:
MYSQLD_OPTS, _WSREP_NEW_CLUSTER

I'll try to submit a PR upstream.

Thank you!
