Agreed. Since this bug merely manifests itself in Kontact but must be fixed 
elsewhere, I have opened a new bug against libqt5sql5-mysql:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031863

Sorry if this bug might have been retargeted, but it isn't obvious how that 
might be done.

I imagine that we could make this existing bug dependent on the new bug, and 
when the fix is hopefully made, we might then close both of them. It is 
conceivable that Debian maintainers may wish to revert the regression in 
libmariadb3 instead, but that it a matter for them to decide, and so I won't 
go and create another bug against libmariadb3. I have merely mentioned the 
possibility in the new bug description.
