This kind of specific configuration should be put on the "conf.d/"
directory and under a "[mariadb]" tag as its specific to it.
As it should be possible for the install not to fail if the passwordless
configuration failed (or ideally if there was a choice and the user
chose not to use it).
Adding this directly on the "my.cnf" will be a real mess for users who
just re-use generic "my.cnf" from other installs (or from a template)
that could be cross-compatible between distros and with older versions
of MariaDB or even with MySQL.
And that way it will be easier to maintain changes to my.cnf and to this
authentication config file when doing packages upgrade.
Another possibility is to reuse the "debian-start" and "debian.cnf"
mechanism which was adding "--defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf" to
mysql* commands but it doesnt sounds as clean and portable as to use
conf.d in case the datadir and /etc/mysql would be ported to a different
distro (or to a generic "tar" version of MariaDB) without keeping the
debian init script (its a bit far fetched, i know but i saw that in the
past).

The mariadb-common postinstall script was supposed to run:
mv -f /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf.old
ln -sf mariadb.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
It does not seem to have happened for some reason..
What if you Daniel C run those two lines manually (as root)?
