Yes, we need to fix activiz.net.

It seems so.

Unfortunately this is true as well. The package was introduced by
Mathieu Malaterre but Mathieu unfortunately left our team[3]

In general you find the place where a package is maintained via
apt-cache showsrc activiz.net | grep ^Vcs
So its in Debian Med SVN and may be this is the reason why you did not
found it since you are checking only SVN, right? I think you will
welcome if the package would be moved to Git, right?
I think the package needs some update since it is lagging behind
upstream anyway[4]. Moving to vtk 6.1 seems to be a sensible thing and
if we are realy lucky the bug in question might go away by this simple
upgrade.
So I'll do the following:
1. Move the package from SVN to Git
2. Add you as Uploaders
3. Ping you for further work on the package once this is done
Is this OK for you? I'm sorry that I personally do not have any
knowledge about this and the related packages so if things exceed normal
packaging I'm not of much help.
Kind regards
Andreas.
