It is complicated to give you a precise estimation, because I'm currently starting an other project, and I don't have all the arguments needed for taking decisions about who works on fw4spl for Debian-Med, nor when. But Debian-Med is always an important project for the IRCAD, and I suppose that one or more people will work on fw4spl "for Debian". And personnaly, I DON'T leave out the project.
By the way, you have to know that fw4spl has several branches [1] (==versions)
- 0.9.2
- 0.10.0
- 0.10.1
- 0.10.2
...
And some of them use vtk6. But the packaging of a different version sounds to me be a big work.
I'm discussing of the VTK problem with my colleagues, and I tell you as soon as I get more information about the packaging of the new version of fw4spl.
