No, that was an experiment which turned out to be a very stupid one
and I will no pursue that path anymore. Instead I've uploaded a new
mariadb-10.5 to fix the problem that the 10.3 was prepared to fix. Or
at least I think so, but I will need to wait another 5 days before I
can see the potential error message / result at
https://release.debian.org/britney/update_output.txt.

Thanks for notifying me. Indeed you have announced 10.7 for release in
2 weeks but I missed the message
https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2020/11/msg00000.html

I will update the Buster branch at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.3 and prepare a
stable update of 10.3.27 for you in the coming days. I take this
message as a permission to have 10.3.27 included in the 10.7 stable
update.
