I have a piece of software that comes as a deb package or as source. I would like to install it from source so I can install it in a non-standard directory, but would like to use apt for dependency management.
Is there software that I can use that will create a deb package from another that is just a dummy package with the dependencies for the package?
EDIT: To clarify, I want to satisfy the dependencies of the software, not use the software to satisfy dependencies.

You can use equivs for that. Install the equivs package, and run
equivs-control yourpackage.control
(replacing yourpackage with something appropriate for your situation).
This will create a template yourpackage.control file; edit it as appropriate:
- to enforce dependencies, list them in the
Depends:line; - to satisfy dependencies, list them in the
Provides:line (adding it if necessary).
If you want to satisfy a single dependency, name your package accordingly, don’t Provide it.
You should also fill in the Version: line. Then run
equivs-build yourpackage.control
and install the resulting .deb package (which will enforce the dependencies).
