Perharps debian-devel or other people that would be in similar situations can help. Concretely, I suspect the postgres/mariaDB maintainers would have been in a similar situation at some point (I think PostgreSQL has a yearly bump of data base format). Personally, I would probably reach out to the PostgreSQL maintainers / check the PG packaging.
The situation for MariaDB warranted documentation in the Release Notes: https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues.html#mariadb-major-version-upgrades-only-work-reliably-after-a-clean-shutdownMaybe we can reduce the amount of people running into the scenario where this is needed by giving sound upgrade instructions?
Is the upgrade handled by dbconfig-common? I recall that will at least dump the database before trying the upgrade and notify the user of that in case of failures.
