[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#689951: Package appears to be non-free

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Emmanuel,

the package camitk received a release critical bug[1] which you possibly
did not noticed.  It would be great if you would read the history of the
bug log[1] and comment on the usage of Debian packaged tetgen which
would enable us to move the package to contrib rather than non-free.

Please note that the package will be removed from Debian if we do not
find a reasonable solution.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
