Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
When running `mariadb-secure-installation` a Debian-specific message is
printed directing the user to read a file that does not exist, viz:
```
NOTE: MariaDB is secure by default in Debian. Running this script is
useless at best, and misleading at worst. This script will be
removed in a future MariaDB release in Debian. Please read
mariadb-server.README.Debian for details.
```
But:
```
find / -name mariadb-server.README.Debian
```
and
```
apt-file search mariadb-server.README.Debian
```
return no results.
The actual file to consult is `/usr/share/doc/mariadb-server/README.Debian.gz`
Suggested fix:

[ Otto Kekäläinen ]
* New upstream maintenance release 11.8.6. For details about fixes please see
https://mariadb.com/docs/release-notes/community-server/11.8/11.8.6
* For details about fixes in 11.8.5 please see
https://mariadb.com/docs/release-notes/community-server/11.8/11.8.5
and the security notices:
- CVE-2025-13699
- CVE-2026-21968
* For details about fixes in 11.8.4 please see
https://mariadb.com/docs/release-notes/community-server/11.8/11.8.4
* The version 11.8.4 was skipped in Debian (and Ubuntu) as it has a severe
regression causing partial data deletion when using the DELETE statement on
MyISAM or Aria tables under specific conditions (MDEV-38068)
* Already existing plugins marked ready for general availability by upstream
in this release: uuid_v4, uuid_v7 and inet4
* Upstream 11.8.5 included fix to MDEV-36556 about upgrades failing from 10.4
when encryption enabled (Closes: #1122811)
* Add debian/source/local-options to suppress WolfSSL line ending errors
* Patch new upstream test main.alter_merge to allow 'from Debian'
* Fix path to mariadb-server.README in mariadb-secure-install
(Closes: #1127863)
* Add preliminary upstream patch to fix MDEV-38811 that affected Akonadi and
any other use case that relies on 'skip-grant-tables' (Closes: #1127431)
* Update patch statuses and Forwarded fields to aid patch maintenance in
future new upstream version updates
* Update server trace to include new 'new-mode' value 'FIX_INDEX_LOOKUP_COST'
* Salsa CI: Apply several fixes already in use on debian/latest branch and
which are needed on this branch as well due to external changes since
August 2026, most notably Salsa CI switching to be sbuild based
.
[ Daniel Black ]
* MDEV-37411: Re-enable AIO in Debian to fix earlier incomplete fix that was
done after new upstream 11.8.3 release introduced innodb_linux_aio
* MDEV-15502: With recent changes in upstream systemd, the tmpfiles are now
required, otherwise starting MariaDB would fail on error:
"cannot create /run/mysqld/wsrep-start-position: Directory nonexistent"
