pr: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/2370

Will need corp bb changes that use /usr/share/mysql/mysql-test and mysql-test-run.pl directly.

Same debian CI warnings https://salsa.debian.org/illuusio/mariadb-server/-/pipelines/469916 as the 10.11 baseline https://salsa.debian.org/illuusio/mariadb-server/-/pipelines/469916

On 10.4 upgrade packging fix related to '/usr/share/mariadb/mysql.init': No such file or directory but otherwise ok.

replaced with PR https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/2392

danblack, internal files don't matter, of course, do whatever you like. But installed scripts and particularly directories — should there be compatibility symlinks too?

The closest ones I though could potentially use a symlink, I don't think its worth the effort:

• mini-benchmark
• usr/share/mariadb/ {locale}

  I consider internal

• usr/share/mariadb/maria_add_gis_sp_bootstrap.sql
• usr/share/mariadb/mariadb_performance_tables.sql
• usr/share/mariadb/mariadb_sys_schema.sql
• usr/share/mariadb/mariadb_system_tables.sql
• usr/share/mariadb/mariadb_system_tables_data.sql
• usr/share/mariadb/mariadb_test_data_timezone.sql
• usr/share/mariadb/mariadb_test_db.sql
• usr/share/mariadb/mariadb-test/m* (scripts)

If you agree on no-compatibility links, I'll rebase, and get a PR ready for BB (corp) on https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb.org-tools/tree/master/buildbot to handle the MTR location change.

Rebase PR. No significant changes. Still couldn't think of anything worth a symlink compat package.

Corp BB pr so it doesn't fall over upon merge created - https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb.org-tools/pull/169 and will be a prerequisite for merge.
