OK - that's why I wrote *personal* opinion. I'm no doctor ...

Forcing is possible in any case but a
dpkg --force-<anything>
is not the thing I would advise somebody to do. It just requires some
answering of questions like:
If you are really sure that you want to do that than type in
the string: 'yeS I reaLly waNt To DO thIs anD I kNow what i aM doIng!'
If this is something what you understand as "force installation" and
if you accept that you will be bothered by stuipid questions any
time you install Debian packages because of broken dependencies than
it can be done. Another solution would be to install it on a chrooted
system. Both requires knowledge and is by no means for the end user.
Kind regards
Andreas.
