essential binaries have to work also when the package is in an
unpacked, but not configured, state. For that reason, packages
including essential binaries use Pre-Depends on the shared libraries
needed by those binaries.
However, from my reading of policy I get the impression that this still
leaves an open issue: the transitive dependencies.
See bug #593177.
