Bug#751395: approach to fix "vtk6: Do not compress perl scripts"

[Gert Wollny]

Hi, 

I've prepared a GDCM-2.6 upload that uses the compressed scripts, but
since depending on files from /usr/share/doc is a policy violation, I'd
suggest the following 2-step procedure to get rid of the problem:

1. Apply the attached patch to the vtk6 debian scripts to install the 
   perl scripts uncompressed in the libvtk6-dev package, but also 
   keep the compressed versions where they were before. This way the 
   current GDCM-2.6 version that is in NEW can be build even if you 
   get around to do a new vtk6 upload before GDCM passes through NEW.  

2. When this new vtk6-dev package is available from the repo, I'll fix 
   GDCM to use the these uncompressed scripts, and I'll notify you that
   you can adjust the -doc package to no longer include the (then 
   duplicate) perl scripts.

Opinions? 

Best, 
Gert
