woody's meant to be releasable at all times: if tcl8.3 were included in
it, then woody would have a RC bug, and wouldn't be releasable; likewise,
if python were included without tcl8.3, even though it depend on tcl8.3
(I presume?), then that'd make python uninstallable in woody, which also
would be a RC bug, and woody wouldn't be releasable.
So, someone needs to fix 87708, assuming it really is a grave bug (makes
the package unusable in all circumstances)...
