Problems with MySQL 5.7 under Debian Jessie and Postfix / Dovecot

Since the new MySQL 5.7 comes with libmysqlclient20 instead of libmysqlclient18, I am having problems with it alongside postfix-mysql and dovecot-mysql. The two list libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.24+dfsg-1) as Depends. While libmysqlclient20 Provides libmysqlclient18, the Debian Policy Manual states

"A Provides field may not contain version numbers, and the version number of the concrete package which provides a particular virtual package will not be considered when considering a dependency on or conflict with the virtual package name."

Since the Depends are versioned and the Provides is unversioned, the conditions are unsatisfied.

So, is there anything MySQL can do to solve this issue or can the problem be only solved by the package mainters of dovecot-mysql and postfix-mysql?
