Package: tcl-doc
Version: 8.4.16-2
Severity: normal
The package should _depend_ on tcl8.4-doc, not just recommend it.
This is expected and even noted in package's description:
"This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's
default Tcl version (currently 8.4)."

No. This weaker dependency is intentional. Currently APT installs
recommended packages by default, so installing tcl-doc will pull
tcl8.4-doc as well. From the other hand you may want to install
tcl8.5-doc which would remove tcl-doc if dependency would be strict.
Since tcl-doc contains useful Debian Tcl/Tk policy it is desirable to
allow to install it together with any tclX.Y-doc package.
So, I'm closing this bug. (Or if you want, reopen it, and I'll mark it
as wont-fix).
Cheers!
