Adding Pre-Depends from linux-image packages to linux-base

Hi all,

I'm proposing to add a linux-run-hooks command to the linux-base package
[1] that will then be used in all maintainer scripts of linux-image
packages [2].  This requires upgrading the current Depends on linux-base
to Pre-Depends.

This message is to start the discussion required by policy for a new use
of Pre-Depends.

Both packages are under kernel team maintenance, and linux-base has
minimal dependencies (debconf | debconf-2.0).  So I don't anticipate
this causing any problems with upgrades.

Ben.
