OK, so shouldn't we instead solve this in the mariadb/mysql packages, i.e. to
ensure that as soon as the embedded server (libmysqld.so) is installed, there

In systemd unit file it is very simple, just set the User= and Group= in the
[Service] section of your unit file:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#User=
For creating the user, consult the Users and Groups section of the Guidelines:
