You'll probably want to touch /var/lib/dpkg/status.
Can you give a bit more information about what you're doing, though? It
sounds rather dangerous. Installing .debs verbatim on a non-Debian
system could break it, as dpkg will keep track of file conflicts with
other packages but not with random files lying around from an earlier
installation.
