Galera 4 has new API, thus does not work with MariaDB 10.3.
Thanks for clarifying. That was not obvious since the filename of the
plugin library did not change. And another reason that dropping the
virtual galera package should not do any harm.
(If the plugin would have changed the name (e.g. used a proper
SOVERSION), -3 and -4 should be co-installable and we would not have
this problem now.) Actually, I don't really like calling it "plugin" any
more. (A probably good example of packaged plugins would be proftpd*.)

PS: Otto, what do you think about dropping the epoch from
src:mariadb-10.6 onwards and applying it only to the binary packages
that don't change their names? If you want to do this, get in touch once
you start preparing 10.6
