I've now uploaded a version to experimental with a .symbols file for
libvtkgdcm2.8 only, to check that the symbols don't vary further across
architectures…

The only differences I notice between amd64 and i386 are that some
vtk-related functions change from long long on amd64 to int in i386.


I pushed everything to git, including my proposal to rename the package
to a wip branch, which I'll upload tomorrow if the builds in
experimental are alright (hopefully I'll get some ftp-master to
fast-track it as well).

Gert: I notice several tags are missing in the gdcm repository, could
you push them?
