Actually the ow-shell package should contain only owget owdir owread owwrite owpresent owexist (which strangely is not included in the debian package)
and I agree: it make no sense to have them dependent on tcl/tk. (ow-shell programs are useful because they are small and self-contained.) The tcl/tk debug scripts owmon owtap should really go in a different package. BTW they are just /usr/bin/wish scripts, therefore I would suggest moving them to a new *architecture-independent* package, with an explicit dependence on tk.
