tempfile and dependencies

[Francesco Tapparo <cesco@mizar.debian.org>]

I'm maintaining the scwm window manager, whose  scripts call the tempfile 
command. 'tempfile' is in the debianutils package, an Essential one, so a
Depends from debianutils wouldn't be needed; the problem is that only recent
debianutils packages come with tempfile. So my question is: must I add
Depends: debianutils (>> 1.6), or I'm guaranteed that will be upgraded the
essential packages first?
Is this bug-fix worthy of an hamm release?

thanks
Francesco
