What about a third solution, namely adding a "provides" statement to the
package definition of ekiga-snapshot? I.e. "Provides: ekiga".

See <http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics#s-depends>.

AFAIK this approach is widely used, one example is the thunderbird
package which has a "Provides: mail-reader".
