Closing, since this part of bringing connector c to server is already done (in bb-10.2-connector-c-integ tree) Continuation of the connector c integraton is done in MDEV-9293

implemented in in connector c integration tree.

For the record, in my opinion the correct solution to this would have been to add libmariadb3 into the debian/control file (where all other build dependencies are listed as well) instead of going with a bundled libmariadb3 as now done.

Or at least if using a bundled version of libmariadb3, then at least not publish the packages for it for others to consume, but rather let others consume the real original libmariadb3 built from MariaDB Connector C sources.

I am currently in the midst of thinking what to do in Debian official. I will probably not start publishing libmariadb3 from the server source package like upstream did.
