Nowadays we use JIRA for bug tracking, that's why the LP bug you are 
referring to is so outdated. There are some open JIRA issues related to 
the suboptimal system of using debian-sys-maint and storing its 
passwords, e.g. https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5500. If you 
have additional information, please feel free to comment on it. For 
example, it would be interesting to know how the password in the cnf 
file went out of sync with the data in the system tables in the first 
place. You did not mention any replication, and I assume you did not 
change the password manually earlier, so in your case the reason has to 
be at least somewhat different from the one that MDEV-5500 suggests.

Thanks,
Elena
