Package: phpmyadmin
Version: 4:4.9.7+dfsg1-1~bpo10+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

starting with php 7.0, mysql module has been removed from the distribution, and 
phpx.x-mysql Debian packages
(both the official ones and the ones available from sury.org) stopped providing 
php-mysql, but provide
php-mysqli, php-mysqlnd and php-pdo-mysql instead.

Please replace the dependency on php-mysql with a dependency on one of these 
virtual packages (mysqli, most likely?),
or at least add it as an alternative to php-mysql.

This matters because when packages.sury.org repository is enabled, installing 
php-mysql causes installation of ALL
versions of phpx.x-mysql, since the package is not provided by any of them, but 
requires all of them. Meanwhile, depending
on php-mysqli, for example, would allow installation of whichever version the 
user prefers.

Not having the unofficial repository enabled hides the issue, but it still 
means that the php-mysql package, which
does not ship any code, is required, while no other php-module packages are.

Thanks for consideration!
