I ran into something similar when installing FreeSwitch under Devuan.

That had a specific dependency on 'freeswitch-systemd' which in turn had a
dependency on 'systemd'.

Looking at 'freeswitch-systemd' it turned out simply to be the systemd unit
file (and perhaps some associated stuff, but certainly nothing I wanted to
have), so I found out how to use "equivs" and built my own package named
'freeswitch-systemd' simply to fulfil the dependency and allow me to install
the rest of FreeSwitch.

Many thanks to Nikolaus Klepp on this list for introducing me to that tool:

Maybe you can do the same? Look in detail at precisely what dependencies
there are, and whether you can fool the installer into thinking you already
have one of the packages it needs, and therefore it can go ahead and install
the rest.

you.
