No lo he probado pero se ajusta bastante, especialmente el último párrafo:
Package: equivs
Description: Circumvent Debian package dependencies
This package provides a tool to create Debian packages that only
contain dependency information.
.
One use for this is to create a metapackage: a package whose sole
purpose is to declare dependencies and conflicts on other packages so
that these will be automatically installed, upgraded, or removed.
.
Another use is to circumvent dependency checking. If a package P is
not installed on the system, packages that depend on P cannot normally
be installed. However, if functionality equivalent to P is known to
be installed, this tool can be used to trick the Debian package
management system into believing that package P is actually installed.
NOTE: this should be considered a crude hack to work around awkward
situations, not a normal solution. If you use equivs to work around
bugs in other Debian packages, you should also file bug reports
against those packages.
