To change this, you need to change the listing in /var/lib/apt/lists/,
i.e. in the Packages file for the repository/ies you use in your
sources list. One way to do that is to use a local repository
containing a modified package. That way, the data gets into the apt
cache - it is not read from the package.

apt uses the cache built from downloaded Packages/Sources files.

Use dpkg-checkbuilddeps to work on the currently unpacked package then
install the necessary build-deps manually.
