Severity: wishlist

Hi James,

To help find problems that arise before making this change for real,
it would be nice to have most packages depending on tcl-dev built
against version 8.5 in experimental.  As discussed on
debian-release[1], this requires sourceful uploads.

I have been using vim locally with this change for a couple of months
now, but since I do not make use of the tcl scripting support, that
does not mean much.  It passes the test suite, at least. ;-)

Patch is against master but intended to apply to the
master-experimental (or debian-experimental?) branch.  If you think an
NMU would be simpler, please let me know and I can try to find a
sponsor.

Thoughts?
Jonathan
