It's always a good idea to do some research before submitting a bug
report. That would include reading the Debian documentation. Searches
with "debian mariadb-server password" and "debian mariadb-server
password bug" throw up some interesting links. They could help you to
decide whether your experience is worth reporting, Don't forget that
packages can legitimately change their behaviour and confound the
expectations of users.

#800009 has

  This issue is now fixed in 10.0.23-1 as the passwordless root
  account authenticated via unix socket is only used on fresh
  installs. Old installs will continue to use any root password
  previously set.
