Hello Gert, thank you for the information and d/copyright update of the Paraview. It is OK for me to remove the files for the old backend. I am not sure whether it is possible just to drop them.
As I mentioned here [1], I am going to remove myself from the list of uploaders of this package. If you are interested in Paraview, feel free to join.
