Ping again.  To recap, tk-tile is installing headers to /usr/include/tcl,
which is a symlink that changes over time, where no one expects to
find them.  I suspect this bug is evidence that no one is actually
using tk-tile. :/

I stumbled on this because it was originally filed as a bug in
tcl-dev.  While I'm fond of the little improvements my patch makes,
another possible solution would be to remove tk-tile from sid.  What
do you think?
