[Debian-med-packaging] [noreply at release.debian.org: python-mne is marked for autoremoval from testing]

Hi Michael,

thanks for the explanation.  I'd hope vtk could be fixed soonish.  From
my point of view a bug against mayavi2 which depends from vtk is needed
anyway.

Kind regards

            Andreas.
