Next MariaDB for Bullseye release tracked in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1000342 Status: the stable release team decided not to release the latest MariaDB 10.5.13 even though it was prepared and uploaded for Bullseye. Apparently on the grounds that Debian testing does not have a newer version (Debian unstable does have MariaDB 10.6.5 however) as it could cause unexpected non-upgrades for users who upgrade from Bullseye to Bullseye+1 at the time being. https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.5/-/commits/bullseye
Yes, please fix the situation in unstable/testing. It looks like 10.6 isn't migrating because your reverse depends need fixing first (did you report that to the maintainers?); having 10.6 migrate would ease the situation a bit because then we can just remove 10.5. I think it would be good if you stop building the non-versioned packages from the versioned source package (like most ecosystems do) and build those in a separate package (mariadb-defaults or sum such).
