Debian: mysql_install_db is called on upgrade

    Description

      A comment in debian/mariadb-server-10.1.postinst says: "can safely run on upgrades with existing databases". While this is true there're a few reasons not to do that:

      • it increases installation time (it has to run rather heavy mysqld multiple times)
      • as well as it increases mysqld downtime
      • it may fail if database has some plugin specific configs (see MDEV-8437)
      • there should be no need to run this script on upgrade: they should be handled by mysql_upgrade to
      • RPM postin doesn't call it if database directory exists
