You might be able to get around this by using the 'equivs' package:
1. cd "$(mktemp -d)"
2. apt install equivs
3. equivs-control foo
4. perl -pi -e 's/.*/Provides: light-locker/ if /Provides:/' foo
5. equivs-build foo
6. sudo dpkg -i equivs-dummy*.deb
7. sudo apt-get purge light-locker
Cheers,
Daniel
