I agree that having a dep on gs in main *or* gs-aladdin in non-free is fine
for main.
I would like to ask you to please change the tk depends, though:
Depends: tk8.3 | wish
I'd much prefer tk8.3 be the default, and the tk8.0 and 8.2 packages
Provide: wish (the first is so it knows which to install when none of the
others are available. Also, even if you ignore this request, note that
there's no "wish" package and versioned provides don't exist (and don't
generally make sense), so Depends: wish (>=8.0.4) doesn't make much sense
either.
Mike, who's thinking of writing a Tcl/Tk mini-policy at this point... :P
