how to make a package to install it dependencies?


Howdy,..

i've started reading this manual to understand how to create better packages for debian so i have created a small package that i call klthemes
so here is the control file :
Code:
Source: klthemes
Section: contrib
Priority: extra
Maintainer: Jabka Atu  <mashrom.head@gmail.com>

Package: klthemes
Architecture: all
Depends:
Description: Collection of kdm themes collected from kde-look.org by Jabka Atu include the next themes: hardDrive, Debian Orange, Technodream, daemonic-smegma_1.0, devil,           yellowrose, sidux-highway,optical scanning 2007, KdmLinux, Kubuntu KDM Gears (tux)
Summary: collection of kdm themes


all nice and good but i need little help :

1.from some reason instead of using one line for summary and more for description all went to summry.
2.i need to add depends: kdetheme and some how to make it install it if it isn't allready installed:
i understand that i need to use preinst script could you please provide an example for example if i have foo dependency how would my preinst will be ?
