Alright, so I've spend last night packaging VTK7 (nightly master) [1]. It's basically a clone of the vtk6 package with a bunch of fixes. Will have to be tested some more, but for certain it's already a better-than-nothing.
Comments and PRs are more than welcome; the code is on GitHub [2]. Cheers, Nico [1] https://launchpad.net/~nschloe/+archive/ubuntu/vtk7-nightly [2] https://github.com/nschloe/debian-vtk7
