May be a more experienced user would be seeing a pattern at this
point, even at an earlier point, but take into account that I've been
using Debian for about a month now. When, and if, all this is over I
hope to see it more clear from reviewing the errors and steps.
Right now, I've installed all the libraries you told me (plus tclx76 &
tk42) with the above result yet (can't load libtcl.so).
Now the issue is no longer to have papyrus (or for that matter
scriptum,...) up and running for the sake of it, I could use LyX
instead of papyrus (... or any editor instead of scriptum), but to get
the feeling of how these things work.

Do you mean you converted it to a .deb package just by:
alien -d scriptum...tgz ??? I've done it yet again and it happened
all over again: no .deb package, and a tree directory right in / (
/scriptum...). I couldn't use dpkg since there was no .deb to use
with. If "alien -d papyrus...tar.gz" had not generated a
papyrus...deb package, I would think there's an implicit installation
procedure with the "-d" option in alien (may be not with a ".tar.gz"
but with a ".tgz"?).
