Yes, the documentation for the variable says:

# List of standard directories in which to look for packages during
# "package require" commands.  Contains the "prefix" directory plus also
# the "exec_prefix" directory, if it is different.

Sounds to me like a bug in one of the .in files; I don't believe this
variable is supposed to be used that way.  I'm cc'ing this to the
debian tcl/tk list.  With luck, someone there will know the canonical
approach the package should be using.  Otherwise, I'll look into it
and try to get back to you ASAP.

cheers
