The reason why I moved tk8.4 and tcl8.4 to Recommends actually _is_
because there are console replacements for "tkremind", it has been a
Dependency before. Because it is only a Recommends currently, you do
not have to install TCL/Tk, if you do not want to. There are also
other frontends for remind that would also have to be listed
alike. Ok, these are not in Debian (yet), but that may change at any
time.

If the Recommends really annoys users, I might rather split the
package, considering the long dependency chain that only goes out from
one single tool in the package or move TCL/Tk to a Suggests:
line. What do you think?
