It is actually very easy nowadays to contribute. Just fork the packaging repo, do your changes, test and submit a merge request. Once the change is approved, it will be part of the next upload, usually within a few weeks. If you do some improvements to the mariadb-10.3 packaging this week, I can promise it will be in Debian unstable next week.
Bug#878340: libmariadbclient-dev-compat: mysqlclient.pc is not visible to pkg-config
Hi Otto, Helmut, Thanks for fixing the bug and sharing the progress with me. To be honest, I could have sent a patch for this issue even back then, but I'm not familiar with Debian's contributors' policy and procedures, and decided to not experiment with it (if it takes months for experienced Debian developers to push patches through the system, there aren't any high hopes for external contributors like me). Thank you for making Debian a great distibution. Happy New Year! Kind regards, Nikolay Dimitrov (A happy Debian user since 2003) On 1/6/19 8:01 PM, Otto Kekäläinen wrote: Hello Nikolay!

Would you be kind > and clean up that cruft to make standard workflows work? I think I have been doing Debian packaging almost every day, even on weekends, for the past 5 weeks. Currently we are in the middle of having mariadb-10.1 in testing and mariadb-10.3 in unstable (along with an updated mysql-defaults in unstable). There are a multitude of issues and due to the complexity of having to adopt to upstream changes that sometimes conflict with Debian needs there is a lot of work. Also, as some areas are regression prone, I have been forced to spend time to develop on CI tooling to ensure we don't get old regressions back again. So all help and encouragement is welcome. Thanks for your patch! In mariadb-10.3 the package libmariadbclient-dev-compat has been replaced by libmariadb-dev-compat (which was previously alreadi in Debian as well as part of https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mariadb-connector-c but upstream merged the connector into the server source so we need to adapt now. > In particular, please don't let important bugs linger for extended > periods of time without any response.

Sorry, I wasn't active with the packaging in the fall 2017 due to other priorities and the person active at the time overlooked this, and I seem to have overlooked it as well when i in DebConf 2018 triaged and updated all bugs (but apparently not this one, sorry).
