This is true. However, I wonder why vtk is using this symbol in the first
place. In squeeze it was using the (superior) implementation of
__cxa_pure_virtual provided by libstdc++:

(sid) $ readelf -s -W /usr/lib/libvtkIO.so.5.4 | grep __cxa_pure_virtual
    903: 00000000     0 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND __cxa_pure_virtual at CXXABI_1.3 (5)

(squeeze) $ readelf -s -W /usr/lib/libvtkIO.so.5.6 | grep __cxa_pure_virtual
    886: 00000000     0 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND __cxa_pure_virtual at libmysqlclient_16 (10)

Please see #616028 for a similar bug report.
