Installation issues - Synaptic/packaging bugs and/or confused operator

I don't have I would call a succinct problem description.
I will list chronologically what I did with what DID NOT happen that 
"should" have happened.

1.   I have been attempting to use multistrap. I have suspicions that I 
have configuration problems. This is not the subject of this thread, but 
only stated for context.

2.   I used Synaptic's search function to find multistrap related 
packages. The only one that came up was  libconfig-model-perl. It's 
description and homepage [https://github.com/dod38fr/config-model/wiki] 
had at least a partial solution to my problems. They said it had a 
configuration model and editor for multistrap.

3.   I installed it. The Synaptic description had said it provided (or 
could provide) a graphical user interface (with 
libconfig-model-tkui-perl). Checking showed that 
libconfig-model-tkui-perl had been installed. *NOTHING* had shown up in 
any MATE menu. Further checking showed that *NEITHER* Tk *NOR* Tcl had 
been installed. I installed both. *NEITHER* showed up in any menu. I can 
execute tclsh8.6 in a MATE terminal. I haven't used Tcl/Tk in quite a 
while and will have to go to my Windows machine to refresh my memory on 
how Tk is launched.


How do I use libconfig-model-perl to configure multistrap?
What additional information is needed to resolve my problems?

TIA
