How high should I set the limit?

Ben,

I don't use mariadb but it's likely to have a data type such as 'text' or
'varchar', both of which have no defined limit. Using such a data type on
your package name removes the issue of the name's length. This data type is
useful for a column that stores a comment or description the length of which
varies greatly from row to row.

HTH,

Rich
