Bug#979446: paraview: Lots of Git-LFS pointers in source tarball and Salsa Repository

[WANA]

Package: paraview
Version: 5.9.0~rc1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the source tarball in Sid [1] and the current debian/latest branch in
the Salsa git repository [2] contain many Git-LFS pointers instead of
the binary files, e.g.:

$ grep -r -l 'https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1' paraview-5.9.0~rc1/
