I can't think of any. It's always a big deal to require Pre-Depends, but
in this case, I think it's the right thing to do. I'd like to explicitly
mention that in the wording (with a note that the Pre-Depends needs to be
discussed in debian-devel), though, since it's always worth making people
stop and think about Pre-Depends.
