Use equivs, to get rid of this pulseaudio dependency issue, for this
purpose it fits better than dpkg-divert.

My control file without annoying wrapping of the MUA looks like this:




[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$
cat /mnt/moonstudio/usr/src/dummies/pulseaudio Priority: optional
Standards-Version: 3.9.2

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2016:07-13-moonstudio
Maintainer: Weremouse <silver.bullet at zoho.com>
Architecture: all
Description: Dummy package




Just care that you chose an epoch or a version for the dummy package
that always will be higher than the version of any upgrade, e.g.
2017 ;).

Next time follow the advices of the digest:

>> than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-studio-users digest..."

It's also common practise to trim posts, instead of quoting everything
and to reply below the quotes.

Or much better log in to your mailing list account and change the
setting from "plain text" digest to "MIME" digest, so you could reply
to individual mails, quasi attached to the digest, instead of the digest
itself.
