indeed. What would be a preferable way to disable it?
a. throw exception when trying to access it?
b. just remove from the API?
seems indeed to happen for me too on amd64, this test was not there in
4.5.0-3 so that one built fine on wheezy

I must be too slow on Friday -- could you elaborate? even if
libvtk5-dev bdepends on libtiff4-dev, that doesn't forbid itk4 bdepend
on it...

For now I would prefer to not care about vtk6 as for backport of current
itk4 to wheezy goes
