Bug#525674: wordnet: Tcl dependency

Package: wordnet
Version: 1:3.0-15
Severity: minor
wordnet currently depends on tcl8.5 (and some X libraries, and freetype,
and…) merely to satisfy requirements of wnb. However, some users (take me
for instance) never use wnb and could happily live without Tcl (or Tk,
or some X libraries, or…) installed.
Please either loosen the dependency (i.e., only recommend tcl8.5, tk8.5,
etc.) or split the package.
