[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1013153: camitk: vtk[6,7] removal

[Emmanuel Promayon]

Dear Andreas,

Thanks again for all the work.

CamiTK is now fully compatible with VTK9 upstream [1], but there is no 
official release yet. The new version of CamiTK with VTK9 support should 
be available before the end of July, and my objective is to have the 
package ready as well in the same time-frame.

Again, thanks to you and all the debian-med team for all the work you 
are doing for the community.

Best regards,
Emmanuel

(this was done during bookworm freeze, using testing, so it will have to 
be tested with sid, but I am quite hopeful)
