I don't know about your specific use case (texlive) but in general you
can fake dependencies with "equivs". Perhaps that is what you meant by
"fake packages". I don't know of another way. And also that way does
of course leave it up to you to actually satisfy the real requirements
some other way.
The wiki has an example:
