Hello!

I am about to upload MariaDB 10.3.29 to Debian in the near future.

If you have a suggestion on how to fix this issue, I'd appreciate if
you submit your suggestion as a Merge Request at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.3 (or for 10.5 at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.5).

Since we inherit the systemd file from upstream, you could also in
addition (or instead) file an issue upstream or even submit a PR to
fix it at https://github.com/mariadb/server
