bt-audio: Command not found

I've performed the update on Ubuntu 16.04 recently and everything works fine, but I discovered that the command bt-audio does not work anymore. More specifically, if I enter the command the terminal output is just "Command not found". According to this, it should, however, work also in 16.04.

I removed and reinstalled the following packages:

• bluez-tools
• bluez,
• pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

but that doesn't seem to solve the issue. Any suggestions?

Moreover, the command which bt-audio just comes back blank - i.e. the file really is not present.

The output of dpkg -l | grep bluez-tools is:

ii bluez-tools 0.2.0~20140808-5 amd64 Set of tools to manage Bluetooth devices for linux

And the package seems to be installed from the correct sources as the output of apt-cache policy bluez-tools indicates:

bluez-tools: Installiert: 0.2.0~20140808-5 Installationskandidat: 0.2.0~20140808-5 Versionstabelle: *** 0.2.0~20140808-5 500 500 xenial/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

PS: I posted this question earlier already but the problem was not solved and I thought it to be easier to summarise the discussion from the comments into a new post and to delete the old one. So, thanks to "dufte" for working out most of the things listed above with me.

EDIT: Not even reinstalling all packages solved the issue. I'm really desperate here!

It appears that bt-audio is currently depreciated:
