Since it also builds in 8.3 and 8.4, should I put (>= 8.3.0) here?

How do I do this? My control file is like
-----------------8<------------------------------------
Source: tk-table
[...]
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50), dh-autoreconf, tcl-dev (>= 8.3.0), tk-dev
(>= 8.3.0)
[...]
Package: tk-table
Section: libs
Architecture: any
Depends: ${tcl:Depends}, ${tk:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}
Provides: libtktable2.9
Replaces: libtktable2.9
Conflicts: libtktable2.9
Description: [...]
-----------------8<------------------------------------
but while packaging I get
dh_gencontrol
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package tk-table: unknown
substitution variable ${tcl:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package tk-table: unknown
substitution variable ${tk:Depends}
Shouldn't it be enough to depend on tcl-dev and tk-dev?
Best
Ole
