Hm. One could do this with rpm's --justdb switch too, without having to
make a dummy package, right?
I was wondering that this is a bit dangerous if there is a update for my
software, as the dummy package might get updated with it overwriting the
installation I've done from source... Not good.
Is there really no "--nodeps" kind of switch in apt-get?

Amen!
Doing it in an (unecessarily) harder way does NOT make you more of a man
(or less of a kiddie).
