Description: Circumvent Debian package dependencies
 This package provides a tool to create Debian packages that only
 contain dependency information.
 .
 One use for this is to create a metapackage: a package whose sole
 purpose is to declare dependencies and conflicts on other packages so
 that these will be automatically installed, upgraded, or removed.
 .
 Another use is to circumvent dependency checking.  If a package P is
 not installed on the system, packages that depend on P cannot normally
 be installed.  However, if functionality equivalent to P is known to
 be installed, this tool can be used to trick the Debian package
 management system into believing that package P is actually installed.
 NOTE: this should be considered a crude hack to work around awkward
 situations, not a normal solution.  If you use equivs to work around
 bugs in other Debian packages, you should also file bug reports
 against those packages.

 Jednym ze sposobów użycia programu jest stworzenie metapakietu: pakietu,
 którego jedynym zadaniem jest deklarowanie zależności i konfliktów z
 innymi pakietami, które mogą być dzięki temu automatycznie instalowane,
 aktualizowane lub usuwane.
