I know... just an idea, there something I do for my backported packages. You could do:
base-files (>= foo) | php5-mysql php7.0-mysql | base-files (<< foo) Where foo should be version-in-xenial or version-in-stretch (whatever is higher), just make sure the "base-files (<< foo)" can be satisfied in jessie, wily and trusty (precise?).
