I have seen that option in the man page. But it is not realy a clean
solution, because i have to install the other dependencies by hand.
Consider the case that i want to install a package, which hasn't
tetex as first level, but as second or third level dependency.
e.g. foo -> bar -> tetex
If foo and bar depend on many other packages, i have a
serious problem, installing all packages in the dependency tree one by
one.
Therefore i am looking for a trick to simulate a installed tetex, or to
take *only* tetex out of the dependency check.

Been there, done that. The config option section seemed to be promising,
but no option fit the task.
