that shows pretty clear that the "backup" subpackage is in the same 
folder as the server and other subpackages which is logical because when 
you build from source it's just a binary falling out of the build process

frankly you are not supposed to install mariadb-backup 10.2.13 when you 
server and libraries are 10.1.x or even 5.5.x - that's not how things work
