I'm not sure you can get completely correct depends info w/o a real
chroot (or your fakechroot idea)... i suppose if we play tricks with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and such it should work. we might have to hack up dpkg a
bit too -- i actually tried to do this last night before i did the
overrides but couldn't get it to work. hope you have better luck at it.
