 Description   

The "-maria" string in MariaDB tar packages seems to be a historical artifact from when the package was called "mysql-5.1.x-maria" but is now redundant and can be removed.

Example:
Currently: mariadb-5.1.38-maria-beta-ourdelta60-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Should be: mariadb-5.1.38-beta-ourdelta60-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Note: The version string inside the server, as produced by SELECT VERSION(), should still be 5.1.38-maria to distinguish from mysql server. (And appended by -beta, -rc as applicable.)

Re: Remove "-maria" string from MariaDB tar packages
Additional note: Realizing that the current naming derives from the same version string that is used internally, I should not that this is not a showstopper, rather more a cosmetic thing.
