So the real problems here are:

1. When upgrading from mysql-5.0 to mariadb on Ubuntu Hardy 64-bit (haven't tested other platforms), the upgrade is not done correctly on the first start of mysqld. Only after a second restart is the upgrade done, and then it is correct.

2. After installation, if the server is stopped the mysqld_safe process does not end, but loops endlessly, with strace showing infinite calls like this:

    wait4(4294967295, 0x7fffedde19fc, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)

3. mariadb-server-5.1.postinst contains some old junk SQL that is passed to $BOOTSTRAP during installation, but which is neither needed nor functional.
