The question is, do you intend to *only* transition the packages in main? 
Because in unstable, there is no longer a libmysqlclient15-dev package that
points to libmysqlclient15off.

And unless further changes to mysql-dfsg-5.0 are made prior to release, the
package will not be uploadable (e.g., for security fixes) because
libmysqlclient15-dev is superseded.
