Summary:                    uncomplete packaging
Description: 
Some projects use Tcl/Tk to provide a graphical interface, e.g., gdb. For
that, they need some "private headers" situated in
/opt/csw/include/tcl-private. The current package doesn't contain these
components.

IMHO, patching is not the best option.

The detection mechanism is implemented in a autoconf file, e.g. tcl.m4 in
/usr/share/aclocal. BTW, the corresponding file is missing in your
package.

If you take a look in the Debian package, you can see that in tcl 8.5 the
detection mechanism changed and that is reflected in the tcl8.5.m4

A lot of other projects offering bindings with Tcl use this mechanism. If
we wish to provide a good maintainer experience we should follow the usages
of the community.
