[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#798201: ITP: htsjdk -- Java API for high-throughput sequencing data (HTS) formats

* Package name    : htsjdk
  Version         : 1.138

  Description     : Java API for high-throughput sequencing data (HTS) formats

 HTSJDK is an implementation of a unified Java library for accessing common
 file formats, such as SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) and VCF, used for
 high-throughput sequencing data. There are also an number of useful utilities
 for manipulating HTS data.

  As a side note, this software is in fact a part of picard-tools (already
packaged): new versions of picard-tools have split the code in one library
(this one) and a frontend (the new picard-tools, smaller that the previous)

  This package will be maintained in the Debian Med Packaging Team (as
picard-tools) but I will welcome java specialists to check the packaging...
I will sent a mail on the java ML once the package is ready (should be soon)

  Regards
    Vincent
