I don't think that there's a good reason for backporting Tcl 8.6.10 to buster. It doesn't add much to the existing 8.6.9. Do you have a specific issue with 8.6.9 which can be solved using 8.6.10? > > By the way: the debian pages say that 8.6.9 is in testing. Needed to > use rmadison to see that it is otherwise. Actually, you don't have to use rmadison. It is useful if you want to query a repository remotely. apt list --all-versions tcl8.6 will show you all the versions from all repositories in your sources list, for example: % apt list --all-versions tcl8.6 Listing... Done tcl8.6/unstable 8.6.10+dfsg-1 amd64 tcl8.6/stable,now 8.6.9+dfsg-2 amd64 [installed,automatic] tcl8.6/oldstable 8.6.6+dfsg-1+b1 amd64 tcl8.6/oldoldstable 8.6.2+dfsg-2 amd64 (I don't have testing in my repositories list, so unstable only). Another way is to go to https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/tcl8.6 and look there.
