Better list to ask would be apt-rpm's list but here goes anyway :)
You can pass arbitrary rpm options with the following configuration items:
RPM::Install-Options:: 
RPM::Options::
RPM::Erase-Options::

The above case would be
apt-get -o rpm::erase-options::="--nodeps --noscripts" packagename

Note that since apt-0.5.15cnc3 the default mode of apt is to use rpmlib 
for transaction processing so these options need to be "emulated" within 
apt - most common options are handled but some will just silently not do 
anything.
