Hi Andreas,

I am back from holidays, conference and hiking :)

I forgot about libbam-dev…  It is dropped by the latest version of samtools,
which switched to the HTSlib.

What I can do is rename the old samtools source package "libbam", make it build
libbam-dev only, and upload it to NEW.  What do you think about this ?

Cheers,
