i think you are confusing two goals:

1. transition from 5.8 to 5.10
2. transition from 5.x to 6.x

I think (1) can be achieved by jessie timeframe, I do not believe (2)
can happen within such a short timeframe.

Anyway thanks for your contributions !

Ps: feel free to open another bug report for vtk 6.x transition
