heavy dependencies of libvtk-dev
Hi, libpcl-dev has uneccessarily heavy dependencies. This is, because it depends on the visualization part of pcl, which in turn pulls in libvtk and libvtk-qt and with it a desktop environment. In containerized build environments, where one just need respective headers to link against, this is problematic. To my knowlegde, there's no way around it. How could we help to improve on this situation?
