Thanks! There is no such file.
Apparently we are not supposed to create such files, and now I must
compile mariadb from source because otherwise I wouldn´t be following
best practises an be out of my right mind ... ;)
Somehow, I doubt I would have a file like that if I did that. I might
even get stuck in a compiling loop, following best practises
indefinitely ...

They do exist.
The server isn´t in production yet, so I can create the file and see
what happens when rebooting it. Let´s hope that it doesn´t vanish when
I do that ...
