Bug#756860: Dependency on libxdmf2 causes installation of libvtk5.8

[Alastair McKinstry]

Hi

It appears that xdmfVTK reader capability moved from the XDMF package 
to
VTK during the vtk5.8 -> vtk6 transition.

I will drop the vtk support from XDMF in favour of VTK6.1 doing it.
Will do so in the next upload.

regards
Alastair
