Package: libvtk4
Version: 4.4.2-4
Severity: normal

The shlibs files for libtvk4 and friends are incomplete, in the sense that
they lack version information.  This can be easily fixed by calling
dh_makeshlibs -V in debian/rules.  It will produce files like this:

libvtkCommon 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkDICOMParser 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkFiltering 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkGraphics 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkHybrid 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkIO 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkImaging 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkParallel 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkRendering 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkfreetype 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)
libvtkftgl 4 libvtk4 (>= 4.4.2-4)

Fixing this will be very useful for the octaviz package, which depend on
libvtk >= 4.4.  Since the libvtk4 shlibs filers are wrong, when I use
dh_shlibdeps in octaviz, I get in substvars only libvtk4, without
versioned dependency.  For now, I am using a temporary shlibs.local as
the one shown above.
