Thanks for the clarification. I'll include that when forwarding the
patch upstream, we may use the separate target after all if upstream
likes that better too.

We're currently waiting for the vtk6 build on mipsel for the gdal
transition (#823335) to complete. When GDAL 2.1.0 is in testing I'll
upload a new revision to unstable which will include the patch for this
issue.

Kind Regards,

Bas
