Since I did this upload as a team upload I can give you one comment  (I
don't used the program myself, and I have no idea how to use it, I am
only somewhat familiar with VTK, but also only from the "get it to
compile" side and not so much from the "how to use it properly").

With this upload I switched the package from using the deprecated
"OpenGL" redering interface (based on OpenGL 1.1) to the new "OpenGL2"
rendering interface (based on openGL 3.2), which means that his might
be a fallout from this rather big upstream change. 

These two upstream bugs might also be related:
