In addition I have also provided a workaround in dune-grid on salsa in branch bookworm [3],
in case that is more convenient. I still think that fixing vtk9 is the better option, as it prevents
more problems.

Again I am only a maintainer of dune-grid and probably cannnot upload to bookworm (or at least
I do not know how). Would be cool if somebody would upload either of the approaches.

Best,

Markus
