That seems like a simple change.  I take it Tcl does not have compatibility
problems between versions?  Or is there anything I need to test to see if
things work properly?

There is another change I want to upload anyway, so I'll include this with it.
Thanks for the patch though.

Thanks,
Bas

Bug#889043: openmsx uses deprecated Tcl 8.5

[Sergei Golovan]

Source: openmsx
Version: 0.14.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Since Tcl 8.5 has reached its end-of-life it is to be removed from Debian. So
please, switch the openmsx package to a modern Tcl version.

I've attached a proposed NMU with replaceing tcl8.5-dev by tcl-dev (the
default Tcl version which is 8.6 as for now). This change is sufficient to
make openmsx build using Tcl 8.6 (and it'll automatically switch to 8.7
after it'll become the dafult). If you don't mind I can do the upload.
