Hello!

Currently, when we put a Pre-Depends on nginx-common for nginx in, we get a 
Lintian failiure case:


{"type"=>"failure", "message"=>"redundant-installation-prerequisite (in section 
for nginx) Depends -> Pre-Depends nginx-common (= ${source:Version}) 
[debian/control:24]"}

We already have a Depends: on nginx-common in the nginx binary package. That 
SHOULD tell apt to install nginx-common first because it's a Dependency.

I'm not sure there's anything actually actionable in this bug.  It sounds like 
if Depends: is not setting the proper priority, then that's an apt/dpkg problem 
not a src:nginx / bin:nginx bug.
