You can't, really. They are different becuase linking to libtcl doesn't mean
much: the version actually matters. Most distros only let have "the" libtcl,
which potentaily limits what you can install, since they are not fully
compatible. By having multiple tcl's (and pythons), Debian is giving you
choice, at the expense of having to make that choice.
That being said, I usually just make a symlink from /usr/include/foo to
whichever version I actually want to use most of the time.
