The easier solution I can see is to make an empty package with the name
you want, and then use dpkg to install it.
In few words, such a package can be made by creating a folder with the
name of the final package (not sure that this naming stuff is required),
say barfoo.
Then, create the file barfoo/DEBIAN/control, and fill it with desired
info, like this:
==============
barfoo/DEBIAN/control
______________
Package: barfoo
Version: X.Y.Z
Section: whatever
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Maintainer: john doe <jdoe@foobar.org>
Description: what do you think I am?
==============
Next step is to do "#dpkg-deb -b barfoo ./ && dpkg -i barfoo.deb" and
this will create and install your package.
Now, you have two solutions: make a package for auctex, with the
dependencies you want, or make dumb packages for it's dependencies you
do not want. Of course, it auctex really depends on them, you will only
achieve to break it... but I think you guessed that :)
PS: there are probably a lot of better ways to create debian packages.
But, this one seems the easiest one for me. You can also add other files
in DEBIAN, so that the package manager can manage other informations
like hash of the files... you can have all the examples you want from
the debian's packages you will find in /var/cache/apt/archive. You just
need to extract files from the debs, with a usual archive manager or
dpkg itself, I do not know if there is a real difference.
