I strongly suspect that You're Stuffed. For this sort of thing, I typically
just create my own packages with the same name and cross my fingers that
they don't get into the wild -- worst case, I make my packages depend on
some sort of local dummy package that shouldn't end up in the wider world,
to prevent major problems.
