I'm very glad to bring ITK to Debian, and I hope it will prove a
valuable addition to the project.

Yes, I should have mentioned the package names as well... I will update
the web pages appropriately. I should have also mentioned that it is
built against unstable, so is not available for woody.

I haven't used them, so I can't say. If I get some spare time I will
have a look. I use VTK for all my viz work, and it is excellent.
(Although it's a great shame that the patent for marching cubes keeps
that algo out of main.)

Again, I will update the text with the package names and links.

Not yet; I was probably going to ask the VTK maintainer, as ITK is quite
closely related. Once I get the first set of packages out there, I will
take this next step. I also plan to apply for DD soon.

That seems fine.

Ooops - my mistake, sorry. I didn't upload the original source at the
same time because the link has been quite slow, and I was trying to
upload the (rather large) packages. I will do that in the next updates,
and make sure it is all there.
It would be nice to try it building on different architectures too. I
have successfully used ITK at uni on Solaris, and it works fine. I
presume once it hits main, it will get autobuilt on the other
architectures?
