No, it says that any "Pre-Depends" must be agreed upon. Pre-Depends is a very specific, very strong relationship which can cause problems with the install system and can mostly be avoided, which is why you are encouraged to discuss them here and look for alternatives. Normal Depends and such can be determined by the maintainer; if there's a problem, well, that's what the BTS is for. That said, you can still ask questions about your packaging choices here; that's one of the purposes of d-devel, after all.
