My conclusion so far is this: As requested in the MariaDB MIR security
review (LP#2122095) the systemd service file had additional hardening
added in patch https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-
server/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/patches/systemd-hardening-safe-
defaults.patch.

The Ubuntu autopkgtest environment seems to be have some restrictions
that systemd can't enable some of these hardening features, resulting in
this error message "Could not execute systemctl: at /usr/bin/deb-
systemd-invoke line 148." as described in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076530.

Perhaps it isn't even running the real systemd but the systemctl shim?
It probably does not support any security features?

To solve this we need someone with access to the autopkgtest environment
to debug what limitations systemd there has.
