package: postfixadmin-mysql
         Requires: php5-mysql
         Requires: postfixadmin-php
         Recommends: mysql

package: postfixadmin-pgsql
         Requires: php5-pgsql
         Requires: postfixadmin-php
         Recommends: postgresql-server

package: postfixadmin-php
         Recommends: postfix mod_php_any


if you really want you can add a "Provides: postfixadmin_backend" and
add an empty postfixadmin package that requires postfixadmin_backend.

just my 2 cents
