ah perfect (i did the check only in unstable). I just requested an
unblock for isdnutils (since there wasn't a request for that yet) and
added in X-Debugs-CC you, so you can track that.

I think, anyhow, that you can ask the removal of tcl8.3 from unstable,
since the isdnutils depends on that only in testing, and once it
migrates it will "set tcl8.3 free" and it will be semi-auto-removed.
Anyhow, it's up to you :) (I just stumbled upon this bug and given a
heads-up).

Cheers,
