He is using this pre-depends:

    Pre-Depends: maemo-select-menu-location

This one ultimately comes from the "How to make a package for the
Application Manager" document here:

    http://maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_making_an_application_package_bora.html#utilities

The maemo-select-menu-location utility is supposed to be used from
maintainer scripts, and I thought that you should pre-depend on
packages providing these utilities in this case.  Not true?

However, the "fire" package doesn't actually call
maemo-select-menu-location as far as I can see, so this pre-depend is
unnecessary.
