tkdiff already exists as a separate package.  The reason tkcvs provides it as 
well is that tkcvs usually requires a very specific version of tkdiff.  
Originally, I did depend on the normal tkdiff package, but it resulted in a lot 
of problems because the tkdiff package was too old.

It's perfectly possible to install the tkdiff package without tkcvs, or am I 
misunderstanding you?

One thing I could do is to have tkcvs dpkg-divert tkdiff, rather than conflict 
with it...
