I thought to argue "but we build backports for all debian/ubuntu releases", but indeed even there libvtk6 is available: neurodebian@smaug ~/deb/builds/openmeeg/2.3.0~20160502-1 % grep 'Unpacking.*libvtk.-dev' *build openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-11.1+b1) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd14.04+1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.0.0-6) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd14.04+1_i386.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.0.0-6) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd15.04+1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.1.0+dfsg2-6ubuntu2) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd15.04+1_i386.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.1.0+dfsg2-6ubuntu2) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd15.10+1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-4ubuntu5) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd15.10+1_i386.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-4ubuntu5) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd16.04+1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-10build1) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd16.04+1_i386.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-10build1) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd+1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-11.1+b1) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd+1_i386.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-11.1+b1) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd80+1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.1.0+dfsg2-6) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd80+1_i386.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.1.0+dfsg2-6) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd90+1_amd64.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-11.1) ... openmeeg_2.3.0~20160502-1~nd90+1_i386.build:Unpacking libvtk6-dev (6.2.0+dfsg1-11.1) ... I am waiting on buildd's to build across to see how grave problems on BEs, and then will look into uploading into unstable with libvtk5 dependency removed -- Yaroslav O.
