Pre-Depends only change what is available for the preinst script, not
the postinst.

Except in the case of a dependency loop, a Depends: already guarantees
that at postinst time, the package in question is already installed and
configured. If a Depends is not enough, there’s no reason why a
Pre-Depends would.
