There is a package in Debian/Ubuntu called equivs, which can be used to generate dummy debs to satisfy dependencies.  You'd give equivs-build a control file to create an empty libappindicator1 and install it.

Thanks Nick. This helped mitigate the problem. However more detailed question would be proper probably for the dev list, I wanted to know if there is a way to manipulate the debian - dpkg or apt or whatever repository after installation. I would appreciate a source link to read about. Looking for such in blind cost me too much time.

For now I build a dummy package and it worked fine. I also was able to upgrade to 14.0.2 and all seems good. So quite of a progress.
