The MR linked from that issue got closed without being merged, there is 
another one which is still marked as WIP:

OTB 9.0 was supposed to get ITK5 support but this was postponed to OTB 10.0:

It's unclear when we can expect ITK5 support in OTB, so I think we 
should remove OTB from Debian to unblock the insighttoolkit4 removal. I 
don't use the package, and popcon shows only a handful of votes too.

Kind Regards,

Bas
