Currently, if /var/lib/mysql does not exist, MariaDB installation is initializing it. But MariaDB is used by Akonadi, and probably also other desktop packages, that never use the system-wide database. And it's not like the database is ready to use after the installation - it's still necessary to setup a root password.

I guess it would be better to print a message telling the user how to initialize the database if he wants it, and not do anything automatically.
This task depends upon
