You can surely do it. The only question, whether it really makes sense
to do it now, if we do not want to start the transition process, doing
source uploads for all vtk-dependent packages. I would do it before
we prepare vtk7. But it is up to you.

Co-maintaining of such large and complex packages like paraview and
vtk is always welcome.
