tdom has already been reintroduced successfully, and comes with debian
{stable|unstable|testing}:

see http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/tdom.html

as ubuntu retrieves package drops from debian unstable at regular intervals,
tdom is featured in ubuntu starting with jaunty:

see http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/tdom

(btw. a hint for custom builts: the debian package manifestos, especially the
rules script, are rich sources of adequate configure settings, see e.g.

http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-tcltk/tdom/trunk/debian/rules?view=markup
