Here's the situation: sometimes I install a package and I override the dependencies in dselect (for example, I'm running a headless server on which I wanted to run some X based monitoring apps on a remote x term; I needed the x libraries but I didn't need an x server.) It's easy to override the box that pops up with the dependency warning, but I've got to do it every time I use dselect. Eventually I give up and let it install whatever it's pestering me about. So, the question is, "is there a way to permenantly override a dependency?" Another example is the dwww package, iirc. It wants a web server, and I don't know how to tell it that I compile my own apache...
