Thanks for your investigations.

You say the "Pre-Depend" field, but this is usually "Pre-Depends",
is it the former that you are having trouble with?

I haven't been able to reproduce this by uploading 
packages with a Pre-Depends to my PPA, the Packages file
lists the Pre-Depends just fine.

Thanks,

James
