Alternatives could be used to specify what database to use, but I don’t know 
that it can override dependencies that are hard-coded into the package spec. 
The only solutions I know of is for either bacula-mysql to not depend on the 
mysql packages, or to have a separate bacula-mariadb with the dependencies on 
the MariaDB packages.

I may take a stab at building my own packages this evening so I can move my 
server over to a new box that is running Ubuntu 20.04 and MariaDB.
