Re: how to tell dput to upload uninstalled packages
dput says: please install package locally, so to verify that it installs cleanly before uploading it. Have you tried this yet?

Yes. I've installed all individual packages (elinks, elinks-doc, elinks-data, elinks-lite) Elinks, elinks-doc and elinks-data go together. elinks-lite conflicts with the above, so i had to remove them and then tried elinks-lite which installed fine too.

If nothing else, dput is a python script you could temporarily disable check - or better extend it with an option which will do so.

Re: how to tell dput to upload uninstalled packages
Oh, also to force installation of conflicting packages you could do something like: dpkg --force-all -i *.deb But this is not the best way to handle this, I think, it would be better to disable check in dput.
