Hello Andreas and ftp-masters! First, thanks to Andreas for looking after the mariadb-10.0 package and helping with it.
However, please note that your bug report #817263 did not reach the maintainers/uploaders of the mariadb-10.0 package and we had no idea that you where requesting cruft removal in parallel with our work. Please next time make sure the bug report is CC'd to mariadb-10.0@p.b.o or some equivalent address. The original plan was to wait until the package renaming/refactoring process was complete and then file the removal of all correct packages in one go. It would have been nice to have a chance to discuss this earlier and not just find out things after the fact when somebody else did something different, unnecessary and potentially even harmful. Scott and other FTP-masters: please check with package maintainers/uploaders before executing any kind of small or large removal requests from non-maintainers. Andreas: we appreciate your help and QA work and we want you to help us in the future too. Please just remember to send an e-mail or file a bug against the package so that maintainers can review things the next time - do not execute upload or "unupload" actions on your own before consulting maintainers first. Thanks! - Otto
