One would use upstream repositories for MariaDB 10.3 on Bullseye (but get Galera from Debian proper). > What do you need the virtual galera package for?

I guess it has been around since the start and was used because all existing packaging at that time form upstream Codership and Percona had such a package, and the replacement had to offer it as well. I think that by now in 2021 we could probably drop it.
