The reality is you're either alpha striking or building a list to deal with alpha striking.
You should be able to keep deepstrikers out of your backfield from smart deployment. Maybe my first two games had that issue, but seriously, they have to be 9" away from your models and you can normally dictate where they are allowed to go.
