Ah, good --- it's an unversioned dependency, so a Provides could work.
Does the driver work ok after running the following?

-- 8< -- cut here ---
apt-get install equivs
cat >fake-gs-esp.control <<\EOF
Package: fake-gs-esp
Provides: gs-esp
EOF
equivs-build fake-gs-esp.control
dpkg -i fake-gs-esp_1.0_all.deb

Mm, not sure.  Is it freely distributable?  Cc-ing Kenshi Muto, who
might have some advice.

Thanks again.
