Two packages instead of one. We have 1400+ packages in main (around 2000 including non-free and contrib), and I think we should apply care when creating new packages especially when the foo-tk package is likely to be a few kilobytes. I'd prefer "Suggests: wish", with explanations in the description, and eventually a wrapper script. Phil.
