Package: dns-browse
Version: 1.9-4
Severity: normal

I have tcl installed but not wish.  This satisfies dns-browse's 
dependecy:

  Depends: tcl8.4 | wish, dnsutils

However, I believe that wish really is needed:

$ dns_browse 
bash: /usr/bin/dns_browse: /usr/bin/wish: bad interpreter: No such file 
or directory

I see that the dns_tree program, which is included in the package, 
doesn't need wish.  Maybe you wrote the dependency that way because of 
this?  I'm not sure what the Debian rules are for this sort of 
situation.  I would say that either (a) have two packages, or (b) make 
wish a dependency.  Or perhaps it is possible to Suggest or Recommend 
wish?

Regards,  Phil.
