OK. Will do.

Nice catch!
Even if tk exists in that manner, moving expect into tcl's dir makes
sense instead of every tcl extension having its own dir at /usr/lib
level and cluttering it.
I verified that with a trivial patch to pkgIndex.tcl, the new dir can
be made into  /usr/lib/tcl8.4/expect5.43/pkgIndex.tcl

Will do.
