By the way, do you know why vtk6 is shown as bad in the transition tracker,
even though it built successfully with ffmpeg?

Because building successfully doesn't mean building sanely.

Package: libvtk6.1
Source: vtk6 (6.1.0+dfsg2-6)
Version: 6.1.0+dfsg2-6+b1

Specifically, I got the right reason but the wrong reason for it. :-)

It's still bad because libvtk6.1 is still in sid. And libvtk6.1 is still in sid because of the mess that is the vtk6 "transition" (#749395, which
has been going on for over a year now).

Ah, that explains it. There is a vtk6.1 -> vtk6.2 transition [1]
going on in the middle of the vtk -> vtk6 transition [2].

Maybe scheduling binNMUs for the packages depending on libvtk6.1
(gammaray, liggghts, mia, nifti2dicom, therion) would help?

It would, if libvtk6.2 would build in sid on all architectures where 6.1 builds, which it doesn't. (The whole thing is a horrible mess, that much we can certainly agree on.)
