For the record, I support Robie on this. The packages mysql and mariadb have been designed to co-exist and both seem to have a user base big enough to justify them being included in Debian. If only one of them would be included in Debian, it must be decided by the tech-ctte then. If you like MariaDB more, please then advocate it, so that packagers and users can migrate to it in their own pace. Forcing a transition upon users is not in line with the Debian spirit, I think.
