Hi there,

Bug #630559 is effectively a duplicate of the much-earlier-filed 506992.  It
is also effectively a release-critical bug, because these hard-coded paths
to dependent libraries that have moved as a result of multiarch will now
cause any reverse-dependency of vtk to fail to build in unstable.

It is /possible/ to solve this by having vtk rebuilt against the libraries
in their new paths; however, that's not a very permanent solution, as each
of the dependent libs will be moved to multiarch paths one by one over time,
which makes for a lot of unnecessary rebuilds of vtk.  To avoid this bug
from popping back open again, I recommend enacting the complete fix of not
exporting dependent library information via cmake when linking.
