Bug#822036: vtk: Build arch:all+arch:any but is missing build-{arch, indep} targets

[niels at thykier.net]

Package: vtk
Severity: normal
Usertags: arch-all-and-any-missing-targets

Hi,

The package vtk builds an architecture independent *and* an
architecture dependent package, but does not have the (now mandatory)
"build-arch" and "build-indep" targets in debian/rules.

We would like to phase out the hacks in dpkg, which are currently
needed to ensure that vtk builds despite its lack of these
targets.

 * Please add build-arch and build-indep targets to vtk at
   your earliest convenience.
   - This can also be solved by using e.g. the "dh"-style rules.

 * The work around will be removed in the first dpkg upload after
   the 1st of June.  After that upload, vtk will FTBFS if
   this bug has not been fixed before then.

Thanks,
