Ah, I looked at 1.8.8p5 quite some time back, and I think I somehow
convinced myself that it was all just patches we were already carrying
which got upstreamed (and a bunch of doc changes) - but there are a
couple of extra ones in there which are significant for this.

Thanks for testing that, there's a package on its way to incoming
which should let you proceed with dropping tk 8.5.

  Cheers,
