How to override xlib6 dependencies?

[gobbel-no.junk.mail@see.message.body]

[apologies if this is a repeat, I'm having a little trouble with the spam filter]

I use AcceleratedX (the only accelerated server for my graphics card), so I
don't want to install XFree86, but I haven't been able to convince dselect
that I already have a package which provides xlib6.  I have a local package
that does nothing but provide lesstif, xlib, xlib6, etc., but dpkg still
refuses to install xanim, quake, and a host of other programs.  Does anyone
know how to get around this?

There really should be a simple way to do this sort of thing, it must happen
quite a lot.
