thanks
Package was reassigned to vtk. Please do not close until it is
actually fixed. I need to find some time. Thanks.

Contrary to you, I do not believe this is so trivial and IMHO a *lot*
of debian packages -today- are using the default cmake mecanisme (eg.
find_package(JPEG) ). They will will be bitten by this soon.
As a side note Brad's description does not take into account case
where find_package(BLA) internally calls find_package(FOO) which is an
implementation details, as such we will be bitten by this without
notice.
Finally Brad's description does not take into account issues such as this one:
...
# Import target "vtkGraphicsJava" for configuration "RELEASE"
SET_PROPERTY(TARGET vtkGraphicsJava APPEND PROPERTY
IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS RELEASE)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(vtkGraphicsJava PROPERTIES
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_RELEASE
"vtkGraphics;vtkFilteringJava;/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so"
IMPORTED_LOCATION_RELEASE
"${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/lib/jni/libvtkGraphicsJava.so.5.8.0"
IMPORTED_SONAME_RELEASE "libvtkGraphicsJava.so.5.8"
)
...
So again I do not believe we can close so easily this bug.
