Let me update this bug to say that VTK 5.4.0 is available upstream,
and packaging effort for it has been put in collab-maint:

http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/vtk.git;a=summary

A few notes on the git-buildpackage workflows that I am trying
to follow are at http://people.debian.org/~bottoms/
for those who like to follow along or join in.

At this time the debian/changelog entry for 5.4.0-1 has in it:
  * Goals *before* uploading this to unstable:
    - Parallel builds should not fail as they do now.
      (should take care of #519058)
    - Check headers, e.g. vtkTemplateAliasMacro.h
    - Rename library packages, fix #520906
      (should be installable alongside VTK 5.0.4
       to help make a Lenny backport easier)
    - change arch all to arch any fixing #521451
    - do a test build of caret against VTK 5.4.0
    - investigate cmake's forcing of ccache

and in general go through the outstanding bug list...
