Part of the trouble is that VTK_USE_EXTERNAL option is not fully supported right now by upstream. However we can build paraview on top of vtk (see branch use_external_vtk in paraview.git)
There may be a way to install vtk 6.xx libs from paraview that won't clash with any vtk package except python-vtk. From my trials it seems that to get a working paraview-python we must ship a python-vtk package. I can create a new branch on paraview.git to see my progress in that direction if you wish....

Christophe Trophime has done already a job to escape such conflicts. Moreover he proposed to build vtk-binaries from Paraview-source. Looks reasonable...
