You could specify the dependoncies manually, but do NOT do that, the
dependencies are that strict for a reason, the library maintainer
*explicitely* requested "any package linking against this library must
use this dependencies". Usually it is a fair bet that the library
maintainer knows his package better than you.

See policy 8.6.
