You should start looking at the Package.MakePakcage() routine.

It calls "MakeTgzPackage()" to make the main package.

Then it calls "MakeSupportPackage()", that function calling 
"MakeTgzSupportPackage()" to make all the GUI packages.

So, according to what you say, it should just be a matter of doing 
nothing in that function.

And are you sure that there is absolutely no way to tell that a package 
depends on another package with Slackware? It would be useful anyway.
