    Description

      I cannot find the correct place to create a MariaDB knowledgebase issue.

      In the MariaDB knowledgebase, it is advised to use apt pinning for packages matching '*'. This is bad practice, as this would let the MariaDB repo / mirror always override any package.

      URL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-mariadb-deb-files/#pinning-the-mariadb-repository

      This example should likely be changed to only match packages expected to be published in the MariaDB repo (i.e. `mariadb-*`, `mysql-*`, and some others).
