You are filled with hatred and rage towards a project and you wish they'd be be sued to death by Oracle because of a minor package naming issue?

Maybe it's time to switch to another distro. In Fedora, trying to install MySQL will install MariaDB, but it is a redirect of sorts, the package is not named MySQL.

Same as in Debian. mysql-server is a transitional package which ends up installing mariadb-server package at the end.
