Package: ftools-pow
Version: 5.3+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

We plan to drop alternatives for /usr/bin/wish from tk8.5 (only the tk package
will provide symlink /usr/bin/wish) before jessie release.

In your ftools-pow package the /usr/bin/POWplot script calls /usr/bin/wish, so
it will stop working after the change in tk8.5.

I see two ways of fixing this:
either replace /usr/bin/wish by /usr/bin/wish8.5 and use tk8.5 in
dependencies,
or retain /usr/bin/wish and use simple tk in tependencies.

In the latter case, please, test you script using tk package from
experimental,
as it pulls tk8.6 package as a default (8.6 as a default is planned for jessie
too).
