Yep.  Some 2.6.39 release candidates do exist in experimental, which
might be why this wasn't noticed.

It's not clear to me what the new pre-depends is for.  It's not
mentioned in debian/changelog, was not discussed on debian-devel, and
was not commited to the packaging repository.  Maybe it was never
meant to be released into the wild.

Hope that helps.

Jonathan
