Nice theory; however, db can't read gdbm files, nor does it provide
the gnu-specific version of the interface... so the existing gdbm
will be needed provided indefinitely.

It doesn't need *any* version of tk installed by the *end user*. It
needs tk41-dev installed by the X maintainer, in order to build the
package... but it only uses the static library.

That's a good first question; maybe it should be lib-altdev, like
libc5 uses? (I don't care that much, I just want to get it nailed
down...)

Indeed... especially if the goal is to have this all done for 2.0...
