You can generate the transition packages from seamonkey just fine --
you can override the version used in the binary package from
debian/rules -- they do not need to match the source version (though
it's the default and deviating should be done with care). See
gcc-defaults for a well known example.

But having a seperate source package for the dummy packages is possible
too, it's mostly a matter of taste.
