Before adding more work on our (qt-kde) side, can you please ping again the scilab maintainers (Julien Puydt in particular), and wait a couple of days for an answer? > Since a fix for scilab is not forthcoming, we need a different solution > to allow hdf5 to migrate to testing.

No, the next best thing is what I wrote earlier, i.e. drop the scilab backend from cantor. I don't see a reason to drop cantor from testing altogether just because one part of it might not be usable because of other packages. -- Pino Toscano
