yes, the tk interpreter is named wish, and any package providing such a
tk interpreter, should provide wish ? was my request do inclear
formulated ? currently all packages, that will work with any version of
tcl (any version of tk), require tcl | tcl7.0 | tcl7.4 | tcl7.6 (require
tk | tk4.0 | tk4.1 | tk4.2) but it would be easier to require "tclsh" :
that means any package providing a tclsh ("wish" : any package providing
a tksh). this way all tcl (tk) and tix (tkx ?) packages should provide
this...
is this clearer now ? (is thsi correct english ? i'm not sure)
regards, andreas

As a user, you install tk7.6 or whatever; on the other hand a package maintainer, having first determined that his program will work with any version of Tk, can simply depend on wish. One assumes someone maintaining a package that depends on Tk will be familiar with it to at least that extent. Although it would clearly be better to have more obvious names, and tk-interpreter seems like a perfectly good one, it is not terribly important for virtual packages to have obvious names.
