This is the source of your problem.

If some package depends on libgstreamer0.10-0 without version specified
- your fake package will work instead of a real one.
But if some package depends on libgstreamer0.10-0 with version specified
(for example, >= 0.10.31) - dpkg will only consider a dependency
satisfied if the fake package itself is called libgstreamer0.10-0.
'Provides' won't work in this case.

So, the only way that I see is to make a fake package
called libgstreamer0.10-0 with highest version possible (9999-1
should do).
