Yes, you should. That's because no dpkg << 1.15.6 [0] is able to uncompress xz-compressed data.tar members of binary packages, hence the Pre-Depends (which implies that you have a fully configured dpkg >= 1.15.6 before your package gets uncompressed). Now, strictly speaking, this is not formally needed within Debian as our current stable has a newer dpkg (1.15.8.11), but this cannot hurt. Cheers, OdyX P.S. This would probably have been more suited for debian-mentors.
