The former restriction (depend on >= 8.5) was used for a test-build against newer versions of Tcl but is not imposed by RRDtool. Removing that restriction does not harm building RRDtool but, in contrast, makes backporting easier. I'm sorry that I missed the change on the last upload but imho it's perfectly safe to let that into Wheezy. Anyway, if you would not prefer to let that in during the freeze, please tell me whether you prefer a new upload to unstable reverting that or an upload to -p-u only including the other (documented) changes.
