I might be missing something, but this still seems impossible. In order to build both flavours, we'd need to build-depend on both libmariadbclient-dev and libmysqlclient-dev, but libmariadbclient-dev still seems to have a "Breaks: libmysqlclient-dev" which makes the two packages not co-installable. (Besides that we'd have to think if we want to name the binary package libdbd-mariadb-perl and/or if we want to make some more changes to it and/or if it should Conflict/Break libdbd-mysql-perl etc. But that's for later ...)
