Yes, it does.  Since commit 482fda2729c3e76999892cb8f9a0391a7bd37119 in
2017, the grafting code attempts to pull in just the output it needs—in
this case the “dev” output of mariadb.

But as a result, it can end up producing different grafting derivations:
one for the case where you need mariadb:out, and a different one for
when you need mariadb:dev.  Annoying.

HTH!
