 recommended packages are installed by default

Though that's only a rather bad misfeature of apt of course.  It's a bit
confusing to have the package description saying it depends on the
latest when it's only a recommends, unlike the corresponding tcl-dev
which is a depends.

(I suppose the actual reason is to have a home for tcltk-policy.txt
without bringing in a particular tcl version if wanting only that
document.)
