Yes, Requires(pre) is supposed to me the %pre scriptlet needs the
functionality.  Others are (verify)/%verbiy, (post)/%post, (preun)/%
preun, (postun)/%postun.  There is also (interp) which is for the
scriptlet interpreters, but this is normally automatically set.

Requires(pre) can exist regardless of the existance of %pre, but it will
not be used for loop breaking under certain circumstances.

Thanks.
