We decided to make mariadb the default provider. That would mean having mariadb as the default alternative in packages relationships, or have mariadb provide something à la default-mta. We'd also need a solution for libmysqlclient, unless that could be (eventually) split off mysql in case that came to be necessary. I suggest we make a plan for this, then send it to debian-devel@ before the MBF happens. Can you suggest a plan to make the necessary changes?
