Comment 4 for bug 481052

I think there are a few items in play which is preventing this from working

saods9 pckage in Karmic is 4.0, and installs tcl/tk 8.4 (along with wish 8.4). Unfortunately, ds9 4.0 (And even the more recent 5.7) is written with tcl/tk 8.5. This is a false dependency. I think there are two ways to get around this:

1) Use a later version of ds9 (5.7 is current), and
2) Update the package to use tcl/tk 8.5

It appears this is packaged up with Debian, so I'm not sure where to go to get attention upstream.
