Oops, what happened here?

Complete removal of mariadb-10.0 from unstable was of course not my
intention. (And so far I cannot remember any of my (many many) RoQA RM
requests causing such fallout.) Only some of the obsolete packages
should go away, since automatic cruft removal sometimes has problems if
both arch:all and arch:any packages are involved.

Hmm, my Subject translated into a valid dak command ... which was used
instead of the one that I pasted from the cruft report. If I had used
  RM: mariadb-test [all] -- RoQA; obsolete arch:all package
instead, nothing (unexpected) would have happened. (But I only realized
right now that mariadb-test switched from all to any)

And RMs are usually moreinfo-ed if they cause dependency problems.

maintainer on an rm bug.

Which sounds like a good idea.

Sorry for the mess and extra work this causes.
