As stated on MDEV-4537, innotop is included on the mariadb-client 
packages since 5.5 and the shipped version is an old one that has few 
bugs as far as i remember.
From the serg comment on the MDEV it seems to be fix-planned for 10.1 
but i dont know if its meaning the inclusion of an updated version or a 
removal of it and from https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL/WhichPackage, 
it should be put on a separate "innotop" package.
The wheezy "mysql-client-5.5" package seems to include "innotop" as well 
(i havent checked which version), the mysql-client-5.6 package on Ubuntu 
too.

As a side note, the "mysqlreport" version shipped with 
mariadb-client-10.0 shows two warnings when executed and the values of 
the slow queries log "LOG:" and the InnoDB "Reads Ahead Sql" are empty 
as the variable name for the first has changed and the second doesnt 
exist anymore (the same should happen with MySQL 5.6).
I fixed these and added support for many new MariaDB features on 
MDEV-573, it works perfectly on MySQL 5.1, 5.5 and MariaDB 5.5 and 10.0.

Another side note (you are not the maintainer for this package but its 
related to the topic) : Debian and Ubuntu ships "mytop" as a separate 
package but MariaDB have a specific mytop version which is available on 
the "scripts" folder of the sources as "mytop.sh" (which is an oddity as 
its a perl script), I updated it fixing some bugs, adding some features 
and I just backported all interesting modifications from the latest 
version shipped with Ubuntu which had many patches made since the 
MariaDB specific version has been forked.
It is available on MDEV-4476, it works perfectly on MySQL 5.1, 5.5 and 
MariaDB 5.5 and 10.0 (i havent tested other versions). I listed on my 
last comment on the MDEV the differences that might be *problematic* 
between the Ubuntu shipped version (with patches applied) and mine.
