This is not a good reason.  Also switching to Qt5 is a thing.

For some reason I can't really understand my `dak rm -Rn vtk` doesn't
show src:elmerfem.

Anyway, the binaries produced by it don't depend on vtk at all (only
some old versions on sh4 and hppa do).  Most problaly the dependency on
vtk there is not needed at all.

That's life.  Fix the package.  Also it already missed the Jessie
release.

However, there is a reason to keep both: vtk6 is qt5 based only. This
leaves applications which are still on qt4 in the dark. One such
application is the simulation tool. Elmer is unstable only right now.
But this is due to long standing license issues. These have finally been
resolved. It would be unfortunate if elmer would not make it to straetch
because of a missing vtk package.

The mix of vtk 5.x and vtk 6.x in the archive was bad enough in jessie,
we shouldn't ship that again for stretch.

Cheers,
Julien
