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.
