Nice!  Could you update the files in SVN packages/debian with yours?   
On the Debian side changing to Tcl/Tk 8.5 is easy, as long as people  
think its a good idea. :)  0.43 fully supports 8.5, but I am not sure  
how well 0.42.5 works on 8.5  If its easy to make work, we should do  
it, otherwise wait for 0.43.
