Description
For Connector/C to be a drop-in replacement for libmysqlclient, it needs to have the same SONAME. But it's soname is libmariadbclient.
One possible fix is to create a separate small library, with soname libmysqlclient, that doesn't contain or export any symbols, but depends on libmariadbclient.

You could model this after how we did it in Debian official repositories, replacing thousands of instances of libmysqlclient usage with our libmariadbclient and how the libmariadb-dev-compat package was created to automatically replace the use of libmysqlclient without any code changes in the target software.

Since this issue has not been updated since 6 weeks, it's time to move it back to Stalled.
well, that really should have been solved before release 10.2.6 as GA (and BTW i find it horrible that the mysql tradition that a 10.2.5 is beta and a 10.2.6 the frist GA is also used at MariaDB - from where i come you have 10.2.0alpha1, 10.2.0alpha2.... and 10.2.0 without suffix is the GA release)
