Christian Meder is right. Packages that are Essential (ie, ones
without which the packaging system breaks) should use Pre-Depends for

Because it's necessary. Duh. As I say, try removing it from
libreadline2's postinst. Why do you think the upgrade of bo -> hamm
is still so problematic? It's because we don't have a method for

Can you explain, or refer to a bug number that explains it?
It's not very good to have incorrect instructions for shared
