And it sounds so easy... Honestly, debianizing a tarball that doesn't come
with the proper rules can be quite a task. I would really prefer a simple
possibility to just tell apt "hey, I got this and that package, just take my
word for it".
equivs is a good step, but it needs to become a bit more user-friendly.
Perhaps a nice frontend that lets you create dummy packages for missing
dependencies.
