This sounds like the renaming of mysql that happened a while back.   If 
they did the mariadb packages correctly they would be set up to 'provide' 
mariadb-whatever as a capability of their package (I'm speaking from a 
RedHat background and how RPM does it, I don't know if debian packages can 
do that or not)
