Alright, we didn't lose data after all! Forums are back online with posts
up through 12/7.
Thanks for pointing me to /var/lib/mysql-upgrade Sebastian. The "DATADIR"
symlink in there is clearly cruft left over from a mysql-5.7 package. It
confused mariadb-server's postinst script:
https://fossies.org/linux/mariadb/debian/dist/Debian/mariadb-server-10.0.postinst
The "# this should never even happen, but just in case..." section ended up
running for us. Neither Garth nor I noticed that in addition to
/tmp/mysql-symlink-restore-forbvv/README, our original /var/lib/mysql
folder was moved there as well. Whew!

Is this fail caused by the Ubuntu packages of MariaDB?
I installed a few MariaDB instances on a fresh Debian server and it was
set to /var/log/mysql everytime. :/
Ubuntu on a desktop = awesome
Ubuntu on a server = pain in the ass
IMHO
Why don't we have backups since 12/3? Was the backupjob not running? Sad..
We do weekly backups -- we're going to move that to daily.
Cheers with a beer
