If the db package is missing dependencies, then that's the bestest fix.

If you must, you can retrofit the ordering requirement using 2 virtual packages.

Specify the libraray dependencies in, say, virtual package A.

Specify the db dependency in, say, virtual package B.

Then add to the B package
   Requires: A

Note: As long as you don't have dependency loops, there is no difference
whatsoever between Requires: and PreReq:, use either to taste.
