Bug#982601: python3-paraview Conflicts: python3-vtk9

[Drew Parsons]

Package: python3-paraview
Version: 5.9.0-2
Severity: normal


python3-paraview has just been given Conflicts: python3-vtk9, which is
a little confusing.  Does it mean python3-paraview replaces
python3-vtk9? Or should not python3-paraview not be used at all?
(obviously there are other packages which use vtk via python).

I think more documentation or explanation is needed. What's going on here?

Alternatively, does it just mean python3-paraview should add 
  Provides: python3-vtk9
?

python3-vedo, for instance, needs python3-vtk9 and is therefore
affected by this change.

Is python3-paraview intended as a drop-in replacement for python3-vtk9 ?
