Hi Julian, I am looking into the jessie->stretch updates and I think we can make this simpler without mangling other packages' maintscripts.
mariadb-10.0 gets updates (via security/release team), so we can just update the mariadb-10.0 postinst script for jessie package. Same needs to be done for: mysql-5.5 and anything else currently present in jessie-backports (mysql-5.6 would be problematic, since it doesn't exist in the unstable anymore). After stretch release, I think that each package should provide it's version specific init scripts. It's easy to add Alias in the systemd unit, and I am sure we can think of something similar for sysvrc (something like update-alternatives might possibly work). Would you be willing to help me clean your patches to not include the other packages' maintscripts mangling?
