 Previously it was generated from tcl files, now the docs are static
HTML files. As they were
generated from tcl files, a tcl build dependency was needed, only for
the docs. With the split
and static docs the tcl build dependency does not needed; but still
upstream split out the
docs.

Yes, it does have the manpage.

 Only static HTMLs. I don't say it's needed, but a new source package
would be stay in NEW
for some time, yes?

 I think it's highly unlikely, but I got your point. Popcon shows 692
installations, I don't know if
it's less or much for a documentation package.
I remerge them for now.
