Hello! This plan didn't hold as the release of 10.2 by upstream seems delayed. I have therefore started preparing MariaDB 10.1 for Debian and I am almost complete now, so I can upload it (first to experimental) very soon. The differences between 10.0 and 10.1 are quite small from dependant packages point of view, so I don't expect any hickups during the upgrade.
