I had a short look at vtk8, and it will need more work to get it ready
than expected, because they added more third party libraries that are
also available in Debian, without even trying to make it easy to use
the system variant.
Since with this upload we face two big changes, i.e. vtk-opengl2 and
python3, I have to concede that it is better to do an upload ASAP to
make it possible that the maintainers of the reverse dependencies can
decide whether they move forward with porting or remain with VTK6.
Please pull the changes because I've added you to the uploaders and had
to change some dependencies to python3-*.
Thanks for your contribution,
Gert
