No.

#1141561 doesn't fix s390x, it expands the same problem to armhf and i386.

The iso2mesh-tools dependencies seem to come from the compat 14 change.

If they are incorrect, then this should be fixed.

If they are correct, then building iso2mesh-tools must be restricted to 
where octave-zmat is available (through build dependencies), so that the
old binaries can be removed.
