I said "can", not "must".
There's more than one way to do it (tm).
The dummy package has some advantages:
- "aptitude why" will give the correct answer,
browsing aptitude TUI also
- it can be stuffed in a local repository
- that fasten duplicating one's setup on an other computer
- it's much easier for this dummy package to Depends: on some -libs & -dev
than to include a postinst script that modifies /var/lib/deborphan/keep
the dummy package can then be expanded and provides some files
in /etc/*.d/
PS: deborphan doesn't know about "Enhances:" :-(
