Sorry, I've been trying to get this into testing for months, and hppa
has been the thorn in my side the whole time, which is the reason for
the tone.  But that's hardly your fault, so it was inappropriate for the
bug.

This builds just fine using an earlier VTK, and there's an open bug on
exactly this issue in VTK, and Elmer builds just fine on all but one
other platform, so there's no reason to suspect there's any bug here in
elmerfem.

In contrast 559986 against babel (another of my packages) involved FTBFS
on a bunch of platforms, and default-jdk-builddep was installable when
not building babel, so it made sense to do the clone-reassign-block
thing there.
