First of all, sorry for the late reply.

Well, it seems you are in the middle of a not well handled transition.
I have found that there are several .cmake files in paraview wich should be in 
paraview-dev.

Removing the package from unstable will cause the packages that build-depend 
on it FTBFS. So I guess the best thing wich can be done is simply move the 
cmake files to -dev, try to build whichever package B-Ds on paraview/paraview-
dev and report FTBFS if necessary.

I'm CCing debian-science to let more experienced people give their opinion.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
