Hi,

I need some help packaging Tcl language bindings for ITK [1]. I've
read the policy (in package tcl-doc) but I'm not sure whether
I'm doing the right thing.

I am essentially tcl illiterate, so please explain things in full.
Examples help.

ITK generates about 9 shared libs and 4 .tcl files, including a
pkgIndex.tcl. I'm only building for the default version of tcl right
now, so I created a package tcl8.4-insighttoolkit3 and installed the
tcl files into /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.4/insighttoolkit3. Does that
sound right?

Now: where do the shared libs go? If this is covered in the policy, I
have missed it. I decided to put them into /usr/lib.

The pkgIndex.tcl file contains the following

In preparation for a pseudo-package, buildd.emdebian.org, I'm filing
status bugs about packages that fail to crossbuild successfully, despite
building successfully in the past. i.e. where an existing package in
Emdebian cannot be updated because the new version fails in a new and
different way.

This problem appears to be restricted to the gtk+2.0 udeb.

gcc-4.2 no longer builds libgcc1 in Debian and as this package was the
primary reason for building gcc at all in Emdebian and libgcc1 is
finally available through a reverse cross of gcc-4.3, it may be time to
remove gcc-4.2 from Emdebian.

A similar problem to #480706 - looks like a new cache value is needed
but I haven't been able to identify it.
