Interesting, I have not seen that directory organization before.
In the case of the library files and the tclsh and wish executables,
what normally happens in Tcl releases is that e.g. libtcl.a gets
installed as libtcl8.2.a, and there is a symbolic link from libtcl.a
to the most recent installed version. That allows multiple releases of
Tcl to co-exist, useful for developers, yet by default you always get
the most recent version. The configure script has a --with-tcl-version
option to support this.
I do not know why the Debian folks have deviated from this scheme.
