I've hit errors now on a fresh install of postfixadmin on stretch with
php 7.0.

The error says "MySQL 3.x / 4.0 functions not available! (php5-mysql
installed?)" although php-mysql *is* installed.

I've looked up in the source code what triggers that error and it's a
test to ensure that function "mysql_connect" is present.

As this page [0] suggests that function was deprecated in php 5.5 and
completely removed in php 7, so that means that the postfixadmin
codebase is not even compatible with PHP 7.

So either we need patches to make postfixadmin work with php7, or it
should be marked as completely broken and possibly removed. (I'd prefer
the former if possible, but I don't know the state of the upstream code)
