There's a pull request opened since February
(https://github.com/gisle/tkx/pull/2) that looks like it is about this
very issue; upstream didn't comment yet, just like they have not
commented on the RT bug report yet.

So we could certainly review that pull request and apply it in Debian,
but to me it essentially means we're becoming the new upstream
maintainers, and then we will have to keep this module on life-support
ourselves: the last upstream release was in 2010, and there was
1 single upstream commit (in 2013) since then
(https://github.com/gisle/tkx/commits/master).

I'd rather not do that and thus I'm still in favour of removing this
package from Debian.

Thoughts?
