The build procedure outlined in official docs is a tad different for actually adding wsrep support. mariadb-server-galera package would need to expand on that.

The wsrep provider, namely,libgalera_smm.so would also need to be incorporated in that package. This is a request here to asking for actual galera support in mariadb package.
