Package: libvtk5
Version: 5.2.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.1


Hi,

the recent upload of VTK 5.2 bumped the SO version of the contained libs
to 5.2. However, the package name does not reflect that change (stays
libvtk5). For this reason rdepend package will be broken whenever VTK is
updated, as the required library with SO version "5.0" are not available
anymore (e.g. package fslview).

IMHO, libvtk5 should become libvtk52, with the -dev package having a
versioned dependency on it (see #520328) and allow to be installed
alongside libvtk5.
