As I understand it this is okay. Pre-Depends should be "used sparingly,
preferably only by packages whose premature upgrade or installation
would hamper the ability of the system to continue with any upgrade that
might be in progress." and indeed the installation does continue
successfully. The author of dbconfig-common suggests that it shouldn't
need to be installed with Pre-Depends, so I am not inclined to change
this now so close to the release of lenny.

Leaving the bug open though, for future discussion, since I do realise
it is somewhat confusing to have the error.
