No, it is not in neither Bookworm nor Deibian Sid / unstable anymore. This can be confirmed by looking into files at https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/tree/debian/latest/debian or testing with a fresh install: ``` ± docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/build -w /build debian:sid bash root@eb0c4013a610:/build# apt update root@eb0c4013a610:/build# apt install -y mariadb-server ...

See package README for more info. [client] host = localhost user = root [mysql_upgrade] host = localhost user = root # THIS FILE WILL BE REMOVED IN A FUTURE DEBIAN RELEASE. ``` If you have '[mysql_upgrade]' with anything else than above in your /etc/mysql/debian.cnf it must be a remnant from some other older prior install.
