Can you please clarify the situation regarding the above bug?

As I understand it, /usr/bin/tetgen and its corresponding manpage are provided 
by the tetgen package, which is *not* a dependency of iso2mesh-tools. So there 
are installation scenarios where those symlinks may be dangling. Hence the 
release critical bug.

But are those symlinks really needed in the first place? I could not find a 
place in the package where “tetgen1.5” is called (with the version number as a 
suffix). Only “tetgen” seems to be called. But maybe am I missing something.

Thanks,
