I finally got around to doing MariaDB 10.6 for Debian. In the same process (as I was about to make a new repo anyway) I migrated the old mariadb-10.5 to the debian/latest branch structure and then build mariadb-10.6 on top of it. Everything worked well when I just remembered to override the git-buildpackage defaults. Hopefully you Guido have time in the future to update git-buildpackage, it is absolutely the foundation of all my Debian packaging work :) Also related, you might want to update https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.upstream-git.html by running 'sed s|debian/sid|debian/latest|g' on it so it also follows the latest DEP-14. Thanks!
