Digging deeper, I found the thread suggests commands that were obsoleted,
and not so sure they exist anymore :/

I did find that dpkg has some force options, basically it turns dependency
checks into warnings, so in theory they should not be processed. man dpkg
and search 'force-things'.

dpkg --force-help also gives the manpage summary of the force options, it
seems like a pretty vast section of package manager, i havent tried any of
them just yet.

dpkg also has a --simulate option which could be useful here ;)
