Well, you're right...

root@system:/etc# ls -la /etc/mysql/my.cnf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Mai 21 11:21 /etc/mysql/my.cnf -> /etc/alternatives/my.cnf

root@system:/etc# ls -la /etc/alternatives/my.cnf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Mai 21 11:21 /etc/alternatives/my.cnf -> /etc/mysql/my.cnf.migrated

Then after

root@system:/etc# update-alternatives --remove my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf.migrated
update-alternatives: /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf wird verwendet, um /etc/mysql/my.cnf (my.cnf) im automatischen Modus bereitzustellen

root@system:/etc# update-alternatives --list my.cnf
/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf
/etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback

root@system:/etc# ls -la /etc/alternatives/my.cnf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Mai 21 11:49 /etc/alternatives/my.cnf -> /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf

And after a reboot, we're good :-)

So I guess you are right, the update-alternatives did not work out during migration. Does that point you to a solution?
