As far as I can see, xotcl is scheduled for removal from jessie because of #724816. And its removal will in turn drop openacs and dotlrn from jessie also. If you don't have time to update xotcl, I could make an NMU which fixes #724816. Though it could be a bit more complicated than I thought because both openacs and dotlrn currently depend on tcl (whic means tcl8.6) and aolserver does depend from libtcl8.6 too. So, we need to either make sure xotcl works with Tcl 8.6 or to check somehow that mixed 8.5/8.6 setup works (where xotcl builds and depends on 8.5 and the rest uses 8.6). I'd prefer the former. There weren't too many incompatible changes in Tcl 8.6, so I think that xotcl can be ported to it without too much effort.
