Hi,

I've made packages of Meshlab with the relevant parts of the VCG
library included in the source (separate packaging does not make much
sense ATM, since VCG upstream does not even have a build system). The
source package is at http://www.helsinki.fi/~tpikonen/meshlab/

So, if any DD interested in this software is reading this, please help
close bug #426581 and sponsor an upload to the archive. Any comments
or suggestions for improving the packaging are very much welcome as
well.

Best,

Teemu
