OK, it looks like you were right about the strings. However, there is still a
bug that was inserting the package build path when trying to build another
project that uses VTK. Apparently this is a known bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=388736

Regarding the patent issues, I haven't fully researched the issue, but I was
recently referred to these links by someone who uses VTK:

http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtk-developers/2005-February/003131.html
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtk-developers/2002-July/001757.html

It sounds to me like the patented subdirectory was removed from the source tree
with release 5.0 because of the problems it was causing. If you have trouble
getting a response from the upstream developers, the package is in Debian, so
you might consider contacting the Debian packager for more information.
