Severity: error
Check: scripts
Renamed-From:
 preinst-interpreter-without-predepends
Explanation: The package contains a <code>preinst</code> maintainer script that uses
 an unusual and non-essential interpreter but does not declare a
 <code>Pre-Depends</code> on the package that provides this interpreter.
 .
 <code>preinst</code> scripts should be written using only essential
 interpreters to avoid additional dependency complexity. Please do not
 add a <code>Pre-Depends</code> without following the policy section 3.5.
