[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#1101146: Bug#1101146: tdom: Consider enabling build for Tcl 9.0

[Héctor Romojaro Gómez]

Hi Sergei,

Great, thanks! I rebased the commit on debian/latest, so work can be
continued there.

Just did some cosmetic changes (added this bug to the changelog to be
closed on upload, and some tabs on debian/rules loops), and reverted
the tdomConfig.sh install expression, so permissions are set by
"install" and lintian is happy again :)

Will perform the upload this weekend so it goes on the archive ASAP and
is ready for Trixie.

Kind regards,
Héctor
