I made more progress (committed). First, you can use

dpkg-buildpackage -j2

and it will work. Second, it now fails when installing things to
debian/paraview. Also the "make install" installs things to
/usr/local, so the
cmake (at the configure time) needs to be told to install things to
/usr/ instead.

Then more polishing, like manpages, copyright etc. needs to be
written. Also builddepends are not quite right yet - it definitely
won't build in pbuilder.
You need to install qt4.3-dev etc. I am going to leave this for a few
days - if you'd like to look at it Christophe, that'd be cool.
