I've looked into the package, and found that the Gregor's assessment is correct.
1) A minor bug with dependencies (on libtcl9.0). I intend to drop
Tcl/Tk 9.0 for forky
leaving only Tcl/Tk 9.1 (and 8.6 still as a default), so replacing
libtcl9.0 by libtcl9.1 will do.
2) Missing -L. when linking the Tcl extension makes the package FTBFS
when it's built in
a clean environment (e.g. in pbuilder chroot).
3) My bug in debian/rules with $$dir inside a string in double quotes.
Please, find the attached patch, which fixes these bugs.
Cheers!
