Try a dummy package. You can build dummy packages with equivs. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-helpers.en.html No knowledge is needed, it just takes a minute. I replaced some pulseaudio packages for gnome-core and this didn't cause any issue, but note, dummy packages could cause issues ;).
