I think the problem is that the MarchingCubes algorithm is patented,
and so Debian have removed it from their main package. There might be
some kind of vtk nonfree package -- Michael will probably know more
about that.
Incidentally, Wikipedia suggests that the patent has expired anyway,
so perhaps Debian should update their vtk package to include it again...
