Just wait until somebody implements "somepackagemanager dummy brasero"
that would pull brasero, use equivs (or some other internal system) to
build a brasero equivalent (but without any files), remove brasero and
install it instead, put it in a special list, and do that everytime
brasero (real package) is meant to be installed. *That* would be
reasonable, and would not interfere with what the packagers do.
And you could get "somepackagemanager undummy brasero" and
"somepackagemanager dummylist", which would be a must.
