Looks like there's another consequence of this: libtk-img and itk3 are now marked for autoremoval from stretch because they depend on the virtual package libtk which is provided by libtk8.4, libtk8.5 and libtk8.6, and likely only the first dependency in lexicographic order is checked. Should I report a bug? Where? Cheers! -- Sergei Golovan
