I guess it comes from the vtk transition, but do you see any way to fix it ?

Currently I do not see a sensible way to deal with this.  You will break
your testing system by installing packages from unstable and if you
upgrade to unstable you will most probably also break your system.  I
have created an unstable chroot if I need to do manual intervention into
the build process - may be this is a way to solve your problem.

Kind regards

I do the same, but use a LXC for my unstable build environment.
Linux containers are way more flexible than a chroot and provide enough isolation from the host system.

may be an alternative way would be this ( not tested ):
