That seems to be another problem, it does actually upgrade galera-3
and remove mariadb 10.3, but it does NOT install mariadb 10.5:

# apt dist-upgrade
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libpython-stdlib mariadb-client-10.3 mariadb-client-core-10.3
mariadb-server mariadb-server-10.3 mariadb-server-core-10.3 python
python-minimal
The following packages will be upgraded:
  galera-3 libpython2-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib
python2 python2-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal
8 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 8 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If it's okay with you I'd like to talk about that, but I think that'll
be for Debian 12.
