This is not a CMake bug.

VTK is very modular, but shipped with a monolithic CMake config in
libvtk*-dev that imports all targets, even optional ones such as the
Java components.

For these warnings to disappear, either libvtk*-dev has to pull in
all components (which is probably undesirable), or split off the
CMake config files for optional components into separate -dev
packages.

Cheers
Timo
