[debian-mysql] mariadb 11.8.8-1 causes libdbd-mariadb-perl FTBFS

[Adrian Bunk]

Control: reassign 1139473 src:mariadb 1:11.8.8-0+deb13u1
Control: found 1139473 1:11.8.8-1
Control: affects -1 src:libdbd-mariadb-perl

Santiago is very fast at reporting FTBFS regressions, and the filing 
fits with being caused by the upload of 1:11.8.8-1 to unstable.

I can reproduce in trixie that libdbd-mariadb-perl builds with 
1:11.8.6-0+deb13u1 from stable but does FTBFS with 1:11.8.8-0+deb13u1
from pu.

In both unstable and stable the autopkgtest shows the same failures
and blames mariadb 11.8.8 (but only neutral due to flaky):
https://ci.debian.net/packages/libd/libdbd-mariadb-perl/testing/amd64/
https://ci.debian.net/packages/libd/libdbd-mariadb-perl/stable/amd64/

While building locally there was always a stray mysqld process left 
after the build (only with 11.8.8), this is also seen in reproducible:
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/libdbd-mariadb-perl.html
  W: Stray processes left from build:
  ...
     CGroup: /system.slice/system-pbuilder.slice/system-pbuilder-build.slice/system-pbuilder-build-libdbd\x2dmariadb\x2dperl_1.22\x2d1.slice/system-pbuilder-build-libdbd\x2dmariadb\x2dperl_1.22\x2d1-2487514.slice
             `-run-p2505164-i40247590.scope
               `-2509485 /usr/sbin/mysqld --no-defaults --user=pbuilder1 --socket=/build/reproducible-path/libdbd-mariadb-perl-1.22/t/testdb/mysql.sock --datadir=/build/reproducible-path/libdbd-mariadb-perl-1.22/t/testdb --pid-file=/build/reproducible-path/libdbd-mariadb-perl-1.22/t/testdb/mysql.pid --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp --skip-networking

The most urgent question is whether this is a MariaDB regression that 
should result in excluding 1:11.8.8-0+deb13u1 from the point release.
