In both cases you should be able to install backupmenu.
Didn't test if this works but this dummy package might solve the dependencies problem. Installation should remove bootmenu-n900 while providing it to dpkg database. Therefore backupmenu doesn't need to be changed and you can still upgrade to new revisions without recompiling again.

Installation without any warranty! I'm not responsible for possible break of the device or other bad things.

EDIT:
had to remove package because HAM says it's incompatible. Have to check why. Updated version will be uploaded.

EDIT2:
new version uploaded. This installs correctly but doesn't delete original bootmenu-n900. Will have to check wether I can set some other entries in control file but until then you'd have to manually remove bootmenu-n900 after installation of dummy file. Or first install dummy, then backupmenu. It should not trigger installation of original package.
