Installing Vidyo on Ubuntu 16.06 LTS (dependency libqt4-gui unmet)

I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.06 LTS from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
The only package I've noticed to be missing is vidyodesktop.

In order to install it, I tried going to v.mozilla.com and open the .deb file.
Unfortunately, it would not install.
In order to determine why it was failing I run this:

sudo dpkg -i VidyoDesktopInstaller-ubuntu64-TAG_VD_3_3_0_027.deb 

Unfortunately it said that libqt4-gui needed to be installed, however. the package is not available for this version of Ubuntu.
In order to fix it, rail told me that we had to install a dummy package to fool Vidyo. This can be accomplished with equivs package.

• Install equivs package

sudo apt-get install equivs

• Generate a control file

equivs-control libqt4-gui

• Edit libqt4-gui and tweak the following variables: Package, Version, Description. Example file

### Commented entries have reasonable defaults.
