Okay. That's not what policy §3.5 says; it does not say Pre-Depends should or must be peer-reviewed or that one should examine all aspects when adding them but simply that there should be (1) a discussion on debian-devel, and (2) a consensus that adding this particular Pre-Depends is a good idea. I like your proposed alternative. Maybe the policy could say that you "should" (in the policy sense) thoroughly analyze the consequences and alternatives before adding pre-depends, and that one way to do so (in a friendly advice sense) is to ask on debian-devel? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
