The buildds only consider the first alternative. This will break once mysql-5.6 gets replaced by mysql-5.7 (or whatever else). This will break in stretch in case mysql-5.6 leaves stretch. And even if secondary alternatives would be considered by the buildds - which provider of virtual-mysql-server-core should be installed? There is probably more than one ... So in this case you would really want a generic real package as first alternative: Build-Depends(-Indep): default-mysql-server-core | virtual-mysql-server-core except that we currently don't have default-mysql-server-core ...
