Sometimes it's also using "present" while it probably also means unpacked.  For
instance:
     some packages may
     not be able to rely on their dependencies being present when being
     installed or removed

You also didn't change that installed it seems?

There is also:
          The `Depends' field should also be used if the `postinst',
          `prerm' or `postrm' scripts require the package to be present in
          order to run.  Note, however, that the `postrm' cannot rely on
          any non-essential packages to be present during the `purge'
          phase.
