Please unblock package mariadb-10.5 to allow new upstream maintenance
release into Bullseye.
[ Motivation ]
The new upstream version 10.5.11 is a maintenance release that only
fixes bugs. Among them two severe regressions introduced in 10.5.10:
* Table alias from previous statement interferes later commands (MDEV-25672)
* Join using derived with aggregation returns incorrect results (MDEV-25714)
(https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-10511-release-notes/)
Occasionally new MariaDB versions are uploaded to stable updates and
they have a good track record of not causing (Debian packaging)
regressions. It is worthwhile to include this package in Bullseye so
that we don't need to upload it as a stable update later.
MariaDB 10.3 and 10.5 in Debian have a good track record of
high-quality stable and security releases, they use extensive Salsa-CI
and autopkgtests and have a low number of bugs in Debian
(https://qa.debian.org/data/bts/graphs/m/mariadb-10.5.png). Making
this release addiotionally dropped mariadb-10.5 bug count in Debian
from 35 to 26.
In addition to the new upstream version, this release also has
Bullseye-tailored fixes in documentation and testing and adds one
patch that makes MariaDB 10.5 build in a reproducible way in Debian.
It is very unlikely to cause any regressions since it only modifies a
build-time timestamp and is based on a patch cherry-picked from
RocksDB where it has been in a production release for over 6 months.
This release also fixes debian/control metadata that fixes Bullseye
upgrades for apt users (it was detected that apt-get and apt resolves
upgrades differently, see Bugs#990992).
