As a longstanding Debian and Tcl/Tk user, I would like to propose some additions to Debian Tcl 
Policy. As you know package tk8.x contain widget demonstration application, but this application  is 
located in /usr/share/doc/tk8.5/examples with with others files, which is parts of this application.
I think this this widget demo must be moved to /usr/bin as widget demo application from perl-tk 
package. Widget demo from tk8.x package is a tool for Tcl/Tk popularization very useful for newbies. 
  I remember, when I search for toolkit for my first GUI program, I was very impressed of abilities of
Tk aspecially after I saw widget demo. So I propose to make widget demo a public application, add it 
to Debian menu system, move files from /usr/share/doc/tk8.x/examples/ to 
/usr/share/tcltk/tk8.x/demos/ , and add chapter to Debian Tcl Policy for maintainers of different Tk 
widgets about how to add new demos. Thats in short.
