 Maybe not an “enhancement”, but I didn't find a better type. It's more of
 a question.

 The files:

 - https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/databases/mariadb-10.4/files/mariadb-10.4
 - https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/databases/mariadb-10.5/files/mariadb-10.5

 They're the ones used by `mysql_select` to put the files in
 `${prefix}/bin`, right?

 MariaDB is having some name changing going on. From 10.4.6 MariaDB have
 started to use `mariadb-*` names. In 10.4 they are symlinks to the
 `mysql_*` version, and in 10.5 it the other way around - the `mysql_*`
 names are symlinks to the `mariadb-*` names.

 Example: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mysql_upgrade/ ''(see the dashed info
 boxes)''

 Shouldn't the `maria-*` names be included as well when adding files to
 `${prefix}/bin`? Like, if they're changing their nameing convention, so
 should we.
