You might be able to recompile tktable to use tk8.4. You'll have to change the control file to reflect this, but my guess is it will work Ok, even though the current package does not mention tk8.4 explicitly. BTW, there is a 2.8 version availahle, though the most recent version in Debian is 2.7. The project home page says for 2.8 "WHAT: Tktable v2.8, 2D editable table/matrix widget WHERE: http://tktable.sourceforge.net/ Tktable binaries are part of ActiveTcl: http://www.ActiveState.com/Tcl REQUIREMENTS: Tcl/Tk8.0+, compiling is required Compiles everywhere Tk does!" It appears that tktable does not really depend on tk8.3. So, you should be set. Tktable has rather modest build-depends, specifically debhelper (>> 3.0.0), tcl8.3, tcl8.3-dev, tk8.3, tk8.3-dev, rman, debhelper Yes, debhelper is mentioned twice (may be a typo). Download the source (apt-get source tktable) or whatever, change all the 8.3 references to 8.4 in the control file and (possibly) the .dsc file, install the build dependencies, and you should be good to go. I recommmend getting devscripts and using "debuild binary". You might want to pin your new tktable using apt preferences (my preferred method) or otherwise make sure it is not upgraded by apt.
