I think a virtual package ("Provides") might be the right answer here.
That is mir-platform-graphics-android8 (and mesa etc) would then
"Provide" a virtual "mir-server-graphics-8". And libmirserverN would
depend on virtual package "mir-server-graphics-8" that is only supplied
by installing one or more driver packages.

Title:
  Mir graphics drivers don't automatically upgrade when libmir* is
  manually upgraded, resulting in broken system

Status in Mir:

Status in mir package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  While investigating bug #1528279 I've noticed there's some missing
  dependency somewhere, I'm able to get a broken device by upgrading
  unity-system-compositor (which pulls in libmir*). Only after upgrading
  mir-graphics-drivers-android did my system come back to normal.
