That sounds like a very bad decision. Header files should be provided by the 
-dev package.

This allows a user to get only the binaries when she installs the foo package 
(foo being paraview in this case) and the header files only when necessary. If 
the header files are provided by the same package, it means that the buildd 
(or anyone wanting to B-D on paraview) must install a lot of unused stuff.

Now ParaViewConfig.cmake should be installed by paraview-dev. To help the 
transition, all the packages that currently build-depend on paraview should be 
filled a normal bug, raised to important in ~3 or 4 weeks and then to serious  
~3 or 4 weeks later. It is customary to user-tag the bugs so as to follow the 
transition.

After that is achieved, src:paraview can be uploaded with the dev package 
providing the header files and ParaViewConfig.cmake.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
