   Hi i'm working on the package of tkxanim.=20
   Tkxanim is a gpl front-end to the program xanim that is non-free.

How does it interface to xanim?  If it interfaces other than through
some sort of command-line interface, you may need to get a license
clarification from the author, since GPL and non-free licenses don't
mix.

   Where i put tkxanim ? in the contrib part with a tag=20
   Depends: xanim

   or in the main part with a tag
   Suggest: xanim=20

Is tkxanim of any use without xanim?  If so, then put it in main with
suggests; otherwise, put it in contrib with depends.
