If this was true, the problem would not have occurred.

On my TW as well as in the solver testcase here, there is no php7-suhosin
package, nor any other package providing php-suhosin than php5-suhosin.

Maybe the package is missing in the repo?
This would explain the problem.

With 'php{5,7}-*' you are probably on the safe side because you
recommend/suggest only packages you expect to be actually installable.

Currently you expect the resolver to sort out the uninstallable matches. This
works for recommends, because the resolver actually tries to install them, and
drops them if they conflict.

Suggests however are not resolved as we will not attempt to install them.
Zypper just reports the packages matching your suggestion.
