I would like to stress the fact that the Debian Med team would like to
keep this package inside Debian.  The package and its dependencies are
complex.  The intention is to switch to insighttoolkit4 so it will not
really block the removal of insighttoolkit (version 3).

Thanks for your patience

PS: Corentin, it would be good if you would be able to give some rough
    estimation of the time needed.
