Thanks a lot!

Since you already did the required work, fixing vtk9 properly looks
indeed the better option now.

I've converted your bookworm branch into a proper team upload (see the
most recent commit), which I plan to upload soon (with proper credit
of course).

Will probably ask you for help regarding the bug to release.debian.org
that we will have to send.

Cc: Anton Gladky, the usual maintainer, so that he is aware, and also
in case he has something to say about this.

Thanks.
