Well there are patches to move .so libraries from /usr/lib/tk8.*/ to
/usr/lib/$(MULTIARCH)/tk8.*, same for tcl and matching tcltk-defaults
package to have similar symlinks everywhere.
And basically mark that package with .so's as multiarch:same. The
interpreter packages are still not marked multi-arch anything. And as
doko said, there wasn't anything else done e.g. test embedded
interpreter use-case.
Personally, I'm not yet convinced about this interpreter
multiarchification, but hey Debian is a Universal OS ;-) and I don't
see any reason to not do this.

Dmitrijs.
