+1. There's precedent for it; Debian does this:
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python
Python 2.7.11+ (default, Jun 2 2016, 19:34:15)
[GCC 5.3.1 20160528] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 42, in <module>
raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package
