could you drop the version on the tcl-tclex dependency? The dependency
on tclex (>=1.2a1-3) was the reason transcriber wouldn't be build on the
buildds, after the first issue there had been solved. tclex had become a
virtual package over the last few weeks, only provided by tcl-tclex, and
versioned build-dependencies don't work on virtual packages I was
reminded yesterday: 

    as per policy 7.5, "If a relationship field has a version number
    attached, only real packages will be considered to see whether the
    relationship is satisfied"

Besides, even oldstable has version 1.2a1-15 of tclex, so the version
could have been dropped a while ago (1.2a1-3 seems to have been uploaded
in 2001...)

Otherwise, did you have a chance to look into the more pedantic lintian
warnings?
