dpkg reports a missing dependency (libpango1.0-0), even though the package is installed

When installing the debian package for the launcher, a dependency error is thrown because I'm missing libpango1.0-0.

Preparing to unpack Minecraft.deb ...
Unpacking minecraft-launcher (2.1.13829) over (2.1.13829) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of minecraft-launcher:
 minecraft-launcher depends on libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0); however:
  Package libpango1.0-0 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package minecraft-launcher (--install):

I actually do have libpango installed, but it's called libpango-1.0-0 (at least in unstable). The other package exists, but refuses to install the required packages.

This all probably happened because I'm using the sid repository. I kinda hacked a solution together, simply by extracting the raw debian archive, then changing the line in DEBIAN/content that displays the libpango dependency to include the dash in the name (libpango-1.0-0)

$ dpkg-deb -R Minecraft.deb folder
$ cd folder/DEBIAN
$ nano content
$ # change the dependency line
$ cd ..
$ dpkg-deb -b . Minecraft.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i Minecraft.deb
