dpkg-maintscript-helper(1): dpkg only has to be unpacked for it to be usable

Some packages use a pre-dependency to ensure a version of dpkg with
dpkg-maintscript-helper is available by the time preinst is run.
Clarify that "available" here means "unpacked", not configured, for
some added peace of mind.
