I can do that.  Please send a follow-up to the bug when your work is ready.  I 
(or another debian-med team member) will act on it.

OK.  But you do understand that in future this will no longer be an option  
because, at some point, v3 will be removed from the archive in favour of v4 
that is now in Testing.

If you want to build a package that requires ITK, at present you have two 
options: (a) build only for the two ITK-supported architectures, or (b) stay 
with v3.  There's a discussion going on now in debian-med regarding a third 
option: restoring architectures to v4.
