Thank you for looking into this!

When you look into satisfiability issues such as this one, the
bootstrap.d.n link is your primary resource. It tells you that perl is
the only dependency issue left for mariadb-10.3.

Well, the perl dependency very likely just needs an ":any" annotation.
If mariadb-10.3 also builds perl bindings somewhere (which doesn't seem
to be the case from a first glance), you need to depend on "perl-xs-dev"
these days. You can just go ahead and add ":any" to your perl build
dependency.
However that's not getting you very far. Once you do that, you can
attempt to cross build mariadb-10.3, but it won't finish installing its
Build-Depends. Instead, it'll abort with an unpack error from dpkg while
attempting to unpack libreadline-gplv2-dev. The relevant problem is
already reported: #707750. If I remember correctly, mariadb-10.3 really
needs readline for both architectures (at least that's declared in
Build-Depends). So before moving on, that bug must be fixed. That bug is
also the reason why I went so silent on mariadb-10.3. It might have
looked like disinterest, but that isn't the case.
Someone should do a QA upload of readline5 fixing that bug. I don't
think I can promise to be the one doing so at this time.
Once this is fixed, I'll look into mariadb-10.3 again to figure out
whether there is more low hanging fruit.
