how to fake out dpkg

   Now I can go one step further and say from personal experience
   that using Apache Toolbox it's quite easy to create a
   mod_perl/mod_ssl Apache server on Linux. :)

Next question: In order to install this, I presumably will have to
uninstall the apache-ssl package that I already have on my machine.
After I uninstall the Debian package and install a rolled-from-source
Apache, if I install another Debian package that *depends on* Apache
... I smell trouble.  What should I do to fool the relevant utilities
into believing I have an Apache package installed, when I really
don't?
