Hello Debian Science Team,
I see that paraview is risking auto-removal from Debian testing, due to
its dependence on Qt 4.

Do I understand correctly that packaging the latest upstream version
(5.4.1) would solve the issue?
Is the new upstream version already being packaged?

Please let me know.
Thanks for your time and for maintaining this great package!
