This is a binary from mariadb-10.3. We discussed before, it shouldn't be part of bullseye, right? What you can do is file a RM bug against ftp.debian.org and get it removed from unstable. Then the removal of 10.3 and addition of 10.5 can migrate together. > Should I re-introduce it into 10.5?

Or you could upload a new version of mariadb-10.3 which drops the package. > There is nothing that depends on it, this is purely an exercise in > making britney happy and not my area of expertise. It's not to make britney happy, it's to ensure that binary packages in testing are installable. So either, make sure that packages that are in testing remain installable or get them removed, it's totally in your control (removal of course takes ftp-master to act, but you get what I mean I hope). Paul By the way, with several binaries from the old version taken over by the new version: why do you have versioned source packages? It seems that once you upload a new versioned source package, the old one isn't very useful as a source package, so why not have the new one replace the old one by creating one unversioned source package?
