This is correct _as well_.

From http://release.debian.org/squeeze/goals.txt

2. Dependencies

	Packages in main cannot require any software outside of main
	for execution or compilation.
	"Recommends:" lines do not count as requirements.

	Packages must include a "Depends:" line listing any other
	packages they require for operation, unless those packages are
	marked "Essential: yes". Packages must include a "Pre-Depends:"
	line listing any packages required by their preinst.


This needs to be met by a package for all archs.


cheers,
	Holger
