Hi!

When mercurial's postinst checks whether to enable extension hgk, it
runs

        which wish > /dev/null || enable=false

but wish is handled via alternatives, and might only become available
later on if mercurial and tk8.4 are upgraded in one batch. Lacking
something like a "Pre-Suggests" to avoid this situation, maybe the test
could be expanded to eg.

        which wish > /dev/null || test -d /usr/share/doc/tk8.4 || enable=false

or even a version that's less kludgy.

The problem is that lots of tk versions are available (tk8.3 to tk8.6 (the 
latter
in experimental only))
Perhaps, a good thing to do would be to always enable the hgk extension and make
the check (with a error message telling to install one tkX.Y package) in the
code.
  Any idea on this part is welcome but I would like to avoid to hardcode in the
package the different tk version supported (it is always a mess when backport 
comes).

    Vincent
