Injecting virtual dependencies into apt



Dear List,

I'm wondering if there's a way to inject virtual packages into apt. For my part, I'm running a HTTP server that I've compiled and installed from source, and because apt doesn't know about it, it wants to install Apache or some other package providing the <httpd> virtual for such simple packages as gitweb or wordpress. I would like to tell apt that the system has <httpd> installed. Is there any mechanism for me to do so?

I've been googling quite a bit on the subject without finding anything, so I'm starting to fear that apt can't do that.
