Package: xchm
Version: 0.9.7-2
Severity: minor

To quote policy, "Pre-Depends should be used sparingly".

/usr/bin/xchm is perfectly usable without mime-support even
installed (though I can see why you'd Recommend it); it shouldn't
matter whether mime-support's install-scripts are run before or
after xchm's, as long as they both end by invoking update-mime. 

If there is some reason xchm needs a pre-dependency on mime-support,
I'd expect the same logic to apply for enough other packages to
justify a bug-report on mime-support...
