I've reviewing why GetCollision was added to sdf/ConstructCollision.hh

why was this API added instead of using GetShapeFromLink::GetShape?

why was this API added instead of using GetShapeFromLink::GetShape?

Since we were using the DART implementation as a reference, and DART doesn't have that implemented, it likely was an oversight. I believe that there were some additional physics API template gymnastics that weren't possible to resolve, but @ahcorde has a better memory for that.

Yes, I was not able to recast the pointer in gz-sim. I'm open to suggestions

we're going to need to update the debian metadata; I would recommend making a few test debbuilds before doing the actual release

actually, it's already been built by the nightly jobs without any complaints:

• https://build.osrfoundation.org/view/ign-garden/job/gz-physics6-debbuilder/663/

I believe it's installing both the bullet and bullet-featherstone plugins together in the -bullet* debs, which I think is fine

• https://github.com/gazebo-release/gz-physics6-release/blob/main/ubuntu/debian/libgz-physics-bullet-dev.install
• https://github.com/gazebo-release/gz-physics6-release/blob/main/ubuntu/debian/libgz-physics-bullet.install

so I think the release can proceed
