Staden Build-Depends: tk-dev (without any version) and the binary
package Depends: libtk8.6 (>= 8.6.0) so I do not understand this
autoremoval message in principle and I specifically wonder why this
happens at this point in time.

Staden is juat an example for a set of packages with the same problem.

Kind regards
