I'd like to avoid as much as possible the usage of Pre-Depends if it is
possible to do otherwise.

I've already committed a 5 lines patch[1] which fix this issue. I'm not
very proud of this patch but it just works and I prefer to do it this
way than adding a Pre-Depends.

Backporting my patch for sympa in wheezy should be straight forward.

On side note, I wonder if this bug really needs to be fixed in wheezy by
a pu upload.
