Add a reminder of Pre-Depends policy to §7.2 "Binary Dependencies"

Section 3.5 says:

 You should not specify a Pre-Depends entry for a package before this
 has been discussed on the debian-devel mailing list and a consensus
 about doing that has been reached.

Add a reminder of this to section 7.2, where the semantics of
Pre-Depends are discussed in more detail.
