I am very glad to see section 2.2.3 in the release-notes. However, I don't think it is clear from the current text that there will not be any *-server installed if no precausion is taken (at least, that is my experience and understanding of the dependencies). mysql-server will be uninstalled during the upgrade, and only when the default-mysql-server from debian-backports is installed will the server be automatically replaced by the MariaDB server. I suggest something like: MariaDB is now the default MySQL variant in Debian, at version 10.1. The Stretch release introduces a new mechanism for switching the default variant, using metapackages created from the mysql-defaults source package. For example, installing the metapackage default-mysql-server will install mariadb-server-10.1. For upgrading from jessie, it is recommended to install this metapackage from the jessie-backports archive so that users who have mysql-server-5.5 or mysql-server-5.6 will have it removed and replaced by the MariaDB equivalent. Similarly, installing default-mysql-client will install mariadb-client-10.1.
