Firstly, let me say that I've not got pulseaudio installed, so forgive
me if there's a better way. If there's no sensible way to disable
pulseaudio, you could create a dummy package using equivs, which you
install in place of pulseaudio to satisfy dependencies, and would then
stop the real pusleaudio getting pulled in. man equivs-control and man
equivs-build for instructions. Also there's this blog that deals with
the issue:
