Sorry, you are right. I missed this point. So the only sensible chance
would be if Corentin could ask fw4spl developers for kind of a
prerelease that is using vtk6 and we might move this to experimental
(due to its not yet released state).
I think if Corentin can do this *and* confirms that either he or
somebody of the fw4spl team who might be interested in the Debian
packaging would confirm that he will update the packaging (under my
guidance) we can save fw4spl. I'd suggest if Corentin or somebody else
confirms this plan in say one week from now on we should work on this.
Otherwise I have no objection for a removal and reintroduction at a
later point in time.
Kind regards
Andreas.
