Bug#846041: virtual/meta package for libvtk-dev

Package: libvtk6-dev
Version: 6.3.0

This is not a bug but a wishlist item for this package. It would be nice to have
a virtual/meta package that automatically links to the latest version of the
package. Having a package named libvtk-dev which links to libvtk6-dev now and
libvtk7-dev in the future will make transitions easier. Below is the link to a
package that already implements this.

Thanks
