Getting myodbc working with 5.7 would be a fairly significant task:
* It would require updating to 5.3 which is non-trivial since upstream has 
switched from autoconf to cmake, so packaging would need changes.
* It would still need patching due to a known issue with the current 5.3 
packages.

One suggestion is:
Remove myodbc:
The package has not been maintained in a while, and there are no hard 
dependencies on it. It is the default alternative for 
libreoffice-canzeley-client, but not a requirement, and otherwise only shows up 
as a suggestion.
Once upstream has finished the work on MySQL 5.7 we can try to update myodbc in 
proposed to get it back into the release, but there is a significant chance 
there won't be enough time.
