The dependency on libvtk6-dev would still be valid, so a transition
would not be needed, but it is true that it doesn't make much sense
right now before the freeze.
I assume, it is save to say that Stretch will not ship vtk7, right? -
and I agree that we should only start adding such a virtual package
when vtk7 will be prepared.
