Ohh dear, please don't laugh, I think I am confused..
This issue appears in exactly the another way and now I also comitted shit..
fglrx-driver Pre-Depends:..
dpkg 1.15.6~ because of the xz compression
dpkg 1.15.7.2~ because of the maintscript helper
So on a Pre-Depends on 1.15.7.2~ is the correct one and
data.tar.xz-member-without-dpkg-pre-depends is faulty.
