git-core backport still useless

The versioned depends on tk8.5 has been removed in 1:1.5.6.3-1~bpo40+4, but still, this isn't enough:

$ gitk
/usr/bin/gitk: line 3: /usr/bin/wish8.5: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/gitk: line 3: exec: /usr/bin/wish8.5: cannot execute: No such file or directory

The irony is that you can simply workaround with:

# ln -sf /usr/bin/wish8.4 /usr/bin/wish8.5


But the proper fix would be to apply this patch:
